Workshop description:

This workshop is a comprehensive look at ways an unpublished author can increase his/her chances of signing with an agent.  Beth will discuss what to look for in an agent, what an agent looks for in an author, warning signs of agents to avoid, how to make a good impression, what to expect from an agent, what an agent can and can’t do for an unpublished author, and how to maintain a professional relationship with an agent once you sign with them.
