How to Land Your Dream Agent
July 17, 2021 @ 4:30 pm - 5:20 pm
Free
Tired of hearing that your manuscript isn’t the right fit for an agent? Or worse, radio silence to your query?
Find out what it takes to move from the slush pile to the client list.
In this workshop, author Jennifer Coburn will share how she recently changed her approach to agent hunting and found her dream representative, who went on to sell her upcoming historical novel CRADLES OF THE REICH for six figures at auction—in ten days.
You’ll learn how to finetune your target list, develop a standout query, and choose which agent to work with when the offers start coming in. She’ll also discuss common mistakes authors make and how to avoid them. You’ll come out of this workshop with actionable steps to bring you closer to landing your dream agent.

Do you have a story to tell?
San Diego Memoir Writers Association is a community of local writers committed to the craft and business of memoir writing. Our purpose is to create a community of inspired, nurtured, and educated memoirists. One of the ways in which we do this is by hosting monthly member meetings with speakers who educate our writers on both the craft and business of memoir writing. Writers of all levels are welcome and encouraged to join us to help build their own writing tribe.
