How to Score a Literary Agent and Get Your Non-Fiction Book Sold!

Instructor:  Peter McGuigan

Writing a non-fiction book can be a catalyst to substantiating your personal brand if you do it right.  Do you have an idea for a non-fiction book, but no clue where to start developing it? How do you get a literary agent’s attention and, ultimately, representation?  It’s time to learn How to Find an Agent for Your Non-Fiction Book Idea. Our Secret Literary Agent Man, Peter McGuigan, will guide you from literary obscurity to representation and show you how to: 

 

  • approach the literary agent and get him to read your work
  • write a basic query letter and non-fiction proposal
  • market your book to your agent and your target audience

You'll look at examples of quality proposal letters, including ones that were sold and became successful books!  When the evening is over, Peter will help your idea get noticed…and you'll be one step closer to making your publishing dreams a reality.

 

Your Instructor: Peter McGuigan is a co-founder and co-owner of Foundry Literary + Media, a full-service literary agency. His client list spans fiction and non-fiction projects including blockbuster hits and literary classics.
