Inside Look at Working with a Literary Agent: Seth Fishman

Virtual Author Talk Series

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.

The Gernert Company represents more than 500 authors and is a full-service literary agency with offices in New York and Los Angeles. Their client list is as broad as the market and they represent fiction, both literary and commercial (such as Liz Moore, John Grishman, Louise Penny, Cixin Liu), as well as general nonfiction and practical nonfiction genres. 

In this presentation, Fishman will deep dive into what happens after you’ve signed with a literary agent. He will cover many topics, including but not limited to: 

What agents are and are not looking for, 
How to submit your work to an agent and when, 
What to expect after you've both said "yes!" to working together, 
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. 
This extended, 90-minute presentation, includes 30 minutes of Q&A. This is the year to make all of your publishing dreams come true. To learn about this beginning stage of the process, register now!
