You’re writing a book (or thinking about it) -- what happens next? Join us for an inside look into working with an agent and the beginning stages of the publishing process with Seth Fishman, Vice President and Literary Agent at The Gernert Company.

• What agents are and are not looking for;
• How and when to submit your work to an agent;
• What to expect after you've both said "yes!" to working together; and
• What you can look forward to as you ready your work with an eye towards submitting to publishers, including the revision process and so much more.
