The 2023 Agents Symposium is a curated year-long experience (February through November) that brings writers into a virtual space to connect with and learn about publishing today from featured literary agents.
On Saturday, May 20, join us for the May Agents Symposium presentation:
“Between Signing & Submission: The Agent/Author Relationship” with Seth Fishman of The Gernert Company
In this presentation, we’ll dive into what happens after you’ve signed with a literary agent. We’ll cover everything from what to expect after you’ve both said “yes!” to working together to what you can look forward to as you ready your work with an eye towards submitting to publishers, including the revision process and more.
The 30-minute presentation will be followed by a moderated conversation and an audience Q&A. For the conversation, our presenter Seth Fishman will be joined by WLT ED Becka Oliver.
Do you have burning questions about the agent/author relationship that you want to make sure we answer? You can share them with us ahead of the event via this form and then tune in for the live webinar on Saturday, May 20 where all will be revealed. The deadline to submit your questions is Thursday, May 18 at 5 PM CT (questions will also be accepted via the Q&A box during the event).
If you cannot make the live webinar, everyone who registers will receive access to the event recording for one month.
Registration for this presentation will close on Friday, May 19 at 5:00 PM CT.
About the 2023 Agents Symposium:
The 2023 Agents Symposium is a curated year-long experience (February through November) that brings writers into a virtual space to connect with and learn from ten literary agents who are at the top of their game.
The ten participating literary agents represent a wide array of genres and categories. They have a cumulative 100+ years of experience in the publishing industry and they work at established literary agencies and with an impressive roster of clients.

Each of the participating literary agents will join us for a Saturday session where they’ll give a presentation on a topic related to traditional publishing, followed by a conversation with a WLT staffer and closing with an extended Q&A.
