We loved this event! Literary agent Jessica Sinsheimer and co-founder Julie Kingsley sat down with five writer volunteers in front of our members and gave them 2:1 consultations on their queries.
Five writers. Two experts. Five intensive critiques that move their work forward.
We were delighted with the results.
If you’ve ever wondered what an agent is actually thinking when your query lands in their inbox, or wanted to watch a professional find the one sentence that changes everything, check out this event replay.

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.
