Upcoming events
ask MY agent anything
Thursday April 4, 2024
6:00-7:00pm PT
I know most of you have questions you’d love to ask an agent. Well, as long as you’re willing to keep them general enough that others can benefit, here’s your chance! Melanie Figueroa of Root Literary will be joining me in conversation on Thursday, April 4th, from 6:00pm-7:00pm PT, and she’s bringing her author, Lisa Manterfield (or vice versa). Despite the three of us looking forward to discussing how Melanie and Lisa met, how they work together, and how they see the agent-author relationship adapting in this ever-changing industry, I promise there’ll be plenty of time for you to do some of the talking. Melanie has kindly promised a less-than-hard stop if the Q&A is still lively at 7pm. So, save your seat. I hope to see many of you there.

8-week Publishing intensive
Shirin Yim Leos and I will be teaching an eight-week publishing intensive, Jan 9-Feb 27; 8 Tuesdays, 6:00pm-8:30pm PT, via Zoom. This will be a hands-on, in-depth, how-to, and let’s-do-it-together kind of course that aims to have all participants leave with their strategic, pitch, and marketing plans in place, and maybe even some completed materials in hand. Some of our industry friends will also be joining us to give you the benefit of their professional experience.
You can find the complete syllabus and registration information, and be added to a notification list for the next class here.
