Curtis Brown Creative: The Literary Agent – with Jonny Geller (New Online Course)
Thu 16 Nov 2023 to Thu 14 Dec 2023
Get the inside track on what a literary agent does, how to get one, and how a good agent can help you build a career as an author. 30 free places for writers with limited financial means
From pitching your first novel to shaping your career, a good literary agent is the writer’s creative and business partner. Join Curtis Brown’s Jonny Geller – one of the best-known agents working today – to explore the role of the agent in the author’s professional life, and how to go about getting one.
Drawing on over 30 years of agenting experience, Jonny shares what literary agents are looking for, how they read, how they find new talent and what good literary agents do to ensure their clients’ books are published well. You’ll learn what you can do to help your agent-submission stand apart from the ‘slush pile’ – from making your opening pages shine to writing an attention-grabbing pitch and ensuring you get your work in front of the right eyes.
