📚 Overview

A literary agent isn't just a requirement for traditional publishing — they're a champion who believes in your book and will fight to get it the deal it deserves. In this exclusive one-day conference, you’ll hear directly from agents and Big 5 publishers, and learn exactly what it takes to land an agent and secure a book deal. 

Together with active literary agents and representatives from some of the world's biggest publishers, we’ll guide you through each step, from researching to querying to getting signed by an agent. You’ll also get insider information about what publishers are looking for in 2026/2027 and what you can do to convince an editor to say ‘yes’ to your book. 


🎟️ What’s Included

This one-day conference includes live presentations, panel discussions, and Q&As with seasoned literary agents, editors, and publishers. You’ll leave with a copy of Reedsy’s querying guide so you can apply what you’ve learned and contact agents with confidence. 

Following the event, you’ll have the option to purchase feedback on your query letter to literary agents. You’ll get $25 credit towards a query letter review on the Reedsy Marketplace, plus post-event guidance to help you select the right editor.
