Public Writing Series: “Author Agency and Literary Agents”
The Scholars as Leaders; Scholars as Learners (SAL2) program offers Public Writing Workshops to provide support to FAS faculty who are interested in bringing their scholarship to an audience beyond academia.
The first workshop of the series, Author Agency and Literary Agents: The Art of the Book Proposal, explores when to consider working with an agent, what to expect from literary agencies, and the financial and content-related concerns scholars should consider when seeking an agent to represent their manuscripts or proposals.
