oin us for our first single genre agent panel!
One of the hardest parts of submitting your work is ensuring that your query and page are ready to go.
Together, we will get your queries and pages (as many as we can, drawn at random) ready for submission. Even if yours isn’t chosen, you’ll learn how agents things–and take away lessons that will help you long into your submissions process.
The panel will be followed by a Q&A, where you can ask your burning publishing questions of our panel.
This event is open to all genres.

Caitlin McDonald is an agent at Donald Maass Literary Agency and has worked in the industry since 2011. She represents award-winning adult and young adult speculative fiction, primarily science-fiction, fantasy, horror, and related subgenres. Caitlin looks for diversity in all projects, and is most drawn to unique, evocative narratives and cross-genre works, with an emphasis on high-impact stories that have something powerful to say.
Previously she trained in non-fiction under industry titan Celeste Fine, and has extensive experience crafting pitches and proposals for successful titles in the cooking, health, how-to, pop culture, and psychology spaces. Though she no longer seeks these projects for her own list, she enjoys the chance to share her knowledge and aid non-fiction authors via meetings at the Manuscript Academy.
