Finding an Agent | How to Land an Agent for Your Children's Book

Who you send your book to matters as much as what you send.

You've polished your manuscript and rewritten your query more times than you can count. Then you open a list of literary agents and find hundreds of names. So you pick a few who sound nice, hit send, and hear nothing back.

This course shows you how finding an agent works behind the scenes, from Brooke Van Sickle, who queried for 7 years and got 230 rejections before landing her agent. So every query goes to an agent who represents books like yours, and you know what to do when one says yes.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN...

1. The behind-the-scenes story of how Brooke landed her agent after 230 rejections
2. The reasons you might want an agent, so you can decide before you spend months querying
3. How to prepare your list of possible agents, so every query goes out with a reason behind it
4. How to choose the right agent at an agency, and when you can submit to others at that agency too
5. What happens when you get an offer, plus what the long-term working relationship with an agent looks like

WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE...

1. The full Finding an Agent training
2. BONUS: The Finding an Agent Toolkit, with the top 20 children's book agencies to look into first
3. Lifetime access, so you can come back every time you're ready to query a new book

Who's this course for?

This is for you if you're going after a traditional publishing contract and want an agent to represent your children's book. It works for any children's book category.

You'll get the most from it when your manuscript is finished and polished. If you're still writing, it helps you plan so you're ready when your book is.

No one can promise you an agent. This course helps you send your book to agents who are a real fit, and understand every step of the process.
