This was a great panel — really nice hearing an author and agent having a frank and open conversation about the process of working together (and going out on submission). (And yes, I bought her book!)
Collaborations | Agent & Mid Career Author
“From providing thoughtful feedback on drafts, to serving as a steady presence on important phone calls, to sending encouraging GIFS over text message, the role of the literary agent in guiding a writer’s career is certainly wide ranging. For the collaboration between writer and agent to be successful, the writer must also be active and proactive, and learn to show up beyond the page. Join literary agent, Serene Hakim (Ayesha Pande Literary) for an insightful conversation with her client Shannon C.F. Rogers. Her debut novel, I’D RATHER BURN THAN BLOOM, received the 2024 APALA Asian/Pacific American Award for Young Adult Literature.”
