Life of a Book Author Development Programme: Querying

Voices from across the literary sector, including writers, agents, publishers, festival programmers, and booksellers, came together in this series of free online events to answer those questions that are so essential to the life of your book - but often so hard to ask.
Over the course of a week, panelists explored key topics through discussion. Audience members could pre-submit questions, as well as asking live, helping to hone the discussions to what you needed to hear about. These Panel Discussions were open to all.
Session 2: Querying
You've got your book into a good shape: how do you now go about getting it published? In this second session of the week, literary agent Jenny Brown leads the discussion around the next stage of your book: finding a home for it with the support of an agent. She is joined by agents Caro Clarke, Louise Lamont and James Macdonald Lockhart.
This programme was developed and funded by Creative Scotland, with support from Hawthornden Foundation with Society of Authors, and facilitated by Moniack Mhor.
