How to Follow Up with a Literary Agent
Are you looking for a literary agent? Have you sent out your query only to receive a polite rejection letter wishing you well on your publishing journey?
Here’s the reason: Literary agents are overwhelmed. Some receive 1500+ queries a month. But there’s an even bigger reason as to why you are not getting the traction you want.
Join literary agent, Lindsey Smith, for a Lunch and Learn for the Women’s National Book Association – San Francisco Chapter, on Thursday, June 27th at 12pm PDT.
Lindsey will share her expertise and explain the secrets behind her successes in championing the work of her clients. She will demystify the reality behind the art of obtaining a literary agent in our current publishing landscape.
If achieving literary representation for your manuscript is your goal, let Lindsey guide you with her insights and advice to receive a “yes” from the agent of your dreams! Lindsey will share what agents respond to positively, what topics are currently popular in the market, the quickest way to get agents to stop in their tracks, the one thing to absolutely not do if you are serious about getting a literary agent and much more.
We hope to see you there!
Lindsey Smith (Speilburg Literary Agency) represents non-fiction projects. In addition to being a literary agent, she owns a bookstore in her hometown, runs her own publishing press, and is the author of several books and gift products. Having worked in every facet of the publishing industry—from author to publisher, to PR strategist to publicist, she knows the book industry inside and out.
When she’s not helping people write books, she can be found reading old American Girl magazines, listening to Taylor Swift, or playing with her dog, Winnie Cooper.

Sorry. This form is no longer available.
It isn’t obvious that you have to fill In something–not just leave “other” as how you heard about this workshop. I tried to submit twice, then changed “other” to “WNBA email” and the submission worked.
Hi Pam,
So sorry about the confusion. Glad you were able to sign up!
