Finding "The One": Researching Agents Who Are Actually Right for You

Saturday January 16, 2027 11:30am - 12:30pm EST

TBA

A great query letter means nothing if it lands in the wrong inbox. This session is about the research that happens before you ever hit send: how to identify agents who actually represent your genre, how to read a deal announcement or MSWL post for real signal (not just wishful thinking), and how to avoid wasting your shot on a mismatch. We'll cover the tools and databases worth using, red flags to watch for, and how to build a smart, targeted query list instead of a scattershot one. Whether you're querying for the first time or starting over after a round that didn't go anywhere, you'll leave knowing how to find the agents who are actually right for your book.
