Editing is subjective. Hire ten editors, get ten different editorial visions.
In this event, we’ll bring up eight agents to review four queries (chosen at random), and YOU get to decide who edited it best.
Agents in this round include:
- Ivan Taurisano
- Erica Bauman
- Savannah Brooks
- Jessica Felleman
Come for the power flip (surely part of you would like to be the one judging an agent for the day?), stay for the editorial lessons.
We're happy you're here.

About the Instructor
Erica Bauman
Erica Bauman is a literary agent at Aevitas Creative Management and represents a wide variety of authors across middle grade, young adult, and upmarket adult fiction, including acclaimed YA author Maria Ingrande Mora, New York Times Bestseller Kayla Cottingham, and Lambda Literary Fellow Naseem Jamnia.
Erica is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and has worked in the publishing industry since 2012. Prior to Aevitas, she worked at Spectrum Literary Agency.
Based in New York, Erica is most interested in commercial novels that feature an exciting premise and lyrical, atmospheric writing; imaginative, genre-blending tales; speculative worlds filled with haunting, quietly wondrous magic; fresh retellings of mythology, ballet, opera, and classic literature; sharply funny rom-coms; graphic novels for all ages; fearless storytellers that tackle big ideas and contemporary issues; and working with and supporting marginalized authors and stories that represent the wide range of humanity.
