Ever wish you could call up an agent friend and ask about your querying process?
We went around the room and heard from members at every stage–deep in the query trenches, staring down an edit letter–and with questions about genre, comps, age group, balancing hope with powerful themes, and so much more.
Plus Q&A, a site tour, and networking. (Want us to send your contact info to one of the writers on the screen to be their critique partner? Click the Contact link above.)
If you’ve been on the fence about your own query, your own edit, your own “should I keep going”–this event is for you.

About the Instructor
Jessica Sinsheimer View Faculty Page
Jessica Sinsheimer has been reading and campaigning for her favorite queries since 2004. Now an agent at the Context Literary Agency, she is always on the lookout for new writers, and–whatever the age group–she tends to love contrast: highbrow sentences and lowbrow content, beautiful settings and ugly motives–the books that are beautiful and scary, heartbreaking and hilarious. She loves secrets, scheming, revenge, plotting–and stories that have to be written forward and backward to make sense (SHE LOVES discovering a very cleverly planted clue that makes sense in retrospect). She’d love more of what she thinks of as “Rom Com 2.0” works–powerful, nerdy women with humor and heart. More underrepresented characters, please–especially those with power, agency, and happy endings.
