đź“š#MSWL Live Agent Panels: Past Events & Inspiration

View Our Past Agent Panels

All Fantasy Panel

We can’t wait! This panel is all about what agents want *within* genres–and each agent guest has an activity (a short class, a query critique, a writer who exemplifies just what they’re looking for) to share with our members.

Join us for a day celebrating manuscripts and the agents and editors who love them. At 2:00pm ET, see agents go over their wishes, share craft lessons, and ring in the new year of manuscripts–all while defining what kind of works they want within this genre.

Our featured agents:

  • Eric Smith, P.S. Literary
  • Bridget Smith, Jabberwocky Literary
  • Jenissa Graham, Bookends Literary
  • Kelly Van Sant, KT Literary

The theme for this event is Fantasy.

This will be recorded in front of our MSWLMA members, then turned into a podcast and video clips for everyone.

There’s also a live Q&A. If you want your question to be super-duper anonymous, or if you can’t make it live, you can send a question ahead here.

We can’t wait. As always, here if you need us!
