Get the Agent & the Book Deal: A Master of Craft Talk with Kima Jones

ABOUT THE CRAFT TALK

Most books published by New York houses get sold by literary agents—experts in the publishing industry who represent the interests of their author-clients. But the process of drafting a query letter, finding an agent, getting published, and promoting a book is shrouded in mystery. In Get the Agent & the Book Deal, Kima Jones brings BIPOC storytellers together for one primary purpose: to get into the nitty-gritty about the industry and to answer all the questions about getting a book deal you’ve been itching to ask.

Duration: 1.5 hours

Tuition: $30

Capacity: Limited. Seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
