NWU-Boston Meet the Agents Workshop

Sunday March 6, 2005
9:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Brookline
Moderated by Sarah Wernick

Looking for an agent? Finding a literary agent can be even tougher than finding a publisher. Come to NWU-Boston's Meet The Agents Workshop, featuring six outstanding agents - all open to new clients.

  • Sorche Elizabeth Fairbank, Fairbank Literary Representation
  • Jennifer Gates, Zachary Shuster Harmsworth
  • Jill Kneerim, Kneerim & Williams at Fish & Richardson
  • Albert LaFarge, Albert LaFarge Literary Agency (New England affiliate of the David Black Agency)
  • Colleen Mohyde, Doe Coover Agency
  • Dan O'Connell, The Wendy Strothman Agency

The agents will explain how they work and what they're looking for; they'll answer questions. You'll also have the rare opportunity to meet one-on-one with an agent. Before and after your appointment, listen to veteran writers - Carol Page, Erik Sherman, Sarah Wernick, and others - talk frankly about their experiences with literary agents
