How To Get an Agent’s Attention: A Free Mini Course

Recently a friend asked me to create a video series for an MFA program she’s teaching to help her students improve in getting an agent’s attention.

So I’m going to share the four videos I created with YOU in hopes they help you get an agent’s attention and help your publishing dreams come true.

The Four Modules For How to Get a Literary Agent’s Attention are:

  1. Be a good literary citizen.
  2. Submit a polished submission packet.
  3. Submit what the agent is looking for.
  4. Follow the agent’s submission guidelines.

If this is helpful, please comment and share so other authors can find this content. My greatest joy is giving back to the writing community that so graciously gave back to me when I needed it.

ONE: Be a good literary citizen.
TWO: Submit a polished submission packet.
THREE: Submit what the agent is looking for.
FOUR: Follow the agent’s submission guidelines.

I’ve found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
