Webinar: Get on the Same Page with Literary Agents—How to Query and Grow a Relationship with Leading Author Advocates
23 JUL. 2024 · For authors navigating complex publishing pathways, a literary agent serves as a guide and advocate,
cutting through the noise and opening up the doors to new opportunities on your behalf. Not only is
working with a literary agent essential for any kind of traditional deal, but they can also help authors with translating publishing contracts from hybrid and indie houses as well and can curate long-lasting
relationships with editors and publishers alike. But first, before working with an agent, you have to query them. What does that entail? And once you’ve signed on, what are the best practices for creating a positive working relationship? We’re glad you asked!
Donya Dickerson, Literary Agent at Aevitas, and John Willig, Literary Advisor and Content Coach at
Literary Services Inc., joined Host Corinne Moulder, Smith Publicity’s VP of Business Development, to
discuss how to query and work collaboratively with literary agents.

On this episode of All Things Book Marketing, Founder and Chief Evangelist Officer at Interview Valet Tom Schwab provides insights into how to give an expert interview including how to arrange your background, the equipment you'll need, and tips to talk like a pro.
Tom Schwab believes the best things in life come from conversations. It’s these powerful, sometimes awkward conversations that propel us from where we are personally and professionally to where we dream of being.

As a small business owner and entrepreneur, he understands the unique challenges of business owners. This led him to be an early pioneer of using inbound marketing for eCommerce and targeted podcast interviews for marketing that connects.
Tom is the author of two books: Podcast Guest Profits: Grow Your Business with a Targeted Interview Strategy, called the bible of podcast guesting and One Conversation Away: A manifesto for a rich life and a profitable business. You can learn more at https://interviewvalet.com/bookmarketing/.
