CRW 299F Studies in Publishing: Agents and Representation
Students will gain understanding of the exigencies of the agent-author relationship in today's literary marketplace. The study of historical and current trends that guide literary agencies and their agents' decision making process will be augmented by visiting literary agents who will discuss their approach to representation, their role in bringing a book from draft to saleable manuscript, and their relationship to editors and publishing houses which ultimately bring books to market. Students will also have the opportunity to pitch to visiting literary agents.
