EPISODE INFO:
Are you looking to land an agent in 2024? 

In this episode, Aevitas Creative literary agent Lori Galvin is going to share the things you need to know if you want to grab an agent’s attention, both in your query letter and bio, but also when talking to an agent, and even those all-important first few pages. 

She even shares something I hadn’t heard before from agents about what they’re really looking for in a client.
