Muse & the Marketplace 2019

Despite an uptick in agent and publisher interest for queer stories, many authors are still struggling to find homes for their work. In this session, we’ll explore how to find agents who will be most receptive to your work, how to grab their interest through your query or pitch, and how to handle the question of outing yourself to them in the process. We’ll also briefly look at a few situations you may run into post-offer, such as what to expect from the editor submission process and what to do if your new agent turns out to be an inappropriate fit for supporting authentic queer stories.
