Ready to take your writing to the next level by learning from and networking with experts? Want to get your dream book published? Legendary West Coast literary agents Michael Larsen and Elizabeth Pomada (www.larsenpomada.com), who are members of the Association of Authors’ Representatives, will spend a humor-filled day with writers and others wanting to tell their story. You will gain first-hand insight into how agents, editors, and publishers work; how to develop and refine your work; make a commitment to achieving your goals, and understand why now is the best time ever to be a writer. Best of all, the last part of the event will be devoted to 3-minute, one-on-one sessions in which you can pitch your book, get feedback on the first page of your proposal, and ask questions.
Since 1972, the renowned Larsen-Pomada Literary Agents has sold adult fiction and nonfiction to more than 100 publishers. Working in a beautiful Edwardian Painted Lady atop San Francisco’s historic Nob Hill, the husband-and-wife team is eager to find new writers. Mike handles non-fiction; Elizabeth represents memoirs, and commercial, literary, genre, and women’s fiction including romance, mysteries, thrillers, and suspense. (Their colleague Laurie McLean handles romance, fantasy, science fiction, horror, westerns, mysteries, thrillers, suspense, children’s middle-grade and young-adult books.)
