About the event

In this hands-on class, veteran literary agent Taryn Fagerness (a WSU alumna!) will teach students how to attract a literary agent to their work and the pitfalls to avoid on their journey to publication.

Topic covered include:

  • The art of writing a proposal,
  • How to put together a list of agents to approach, current trends, and
  • How to write the all-important query letter.

Ms. Fagerness will also discuss how to get started in the publishing business as a career, sharing insider tips and offering insights from her 22 years in the industry. Students must also attend the Literary Agent Panel on September 7 at noon. To register, contact Leisa McCormick at: lmccormick@wsu.edu or 509-335-0496.
