Does the thought of approaching agents with your book ideas leave you feeling stuck and lacking in confidence because you’re just not sure how to go about it?

If so, you’re not alone!

Many writers experience similar anxieties when it comes to approaching literary agents. And it is totally understandable. The market is tough these days and ever-increasing numbers of writers are looking for representation by an agent as a first step to signing a deal with a publisher.

What you need is access to an expert to answer your questions and the chance to hear the inside story of what agents are really looking for.

Well, this is your opportunity to experience just such a situation with Simon Trewin, Literary Agent and Joint Head of the Books Department at PFD (www.pfd.co.uk).

Simon's clients include Andrew Miller, Scarlett Thomas, Steven Hall, Danny Wallace, John Boyne and bloggers Petite Anglaise and The Girl With A One Track Mind. He receives 6000 unsolicited approaches a year and rejects 98% of them within 5 minutes of receipt because they are ill-crafted or poorly thought out. In this session he will give you the ammunition to have a better chance of bring one of those 2% who make the grade.
