Fantasy Query & Page Feedback Panel

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.
