Pitch Your Novel to
a Literary Agent
Join us for the live event and have a chance to get written feedback on your
query letter from a literary agent who works with authors. Participating
agents include Laura Zats (Red Sofa Literary), Moe Ferrara (BookEnds Literary
Agency), and Sharon Pelletier (Dystel, Goderich & Bourret).

Moe Ferrara
Moe Ferrara:
Becoming a literary agent was fitting for the girl who, as a small child,
begged her dad to buy her a book simply because “it has a hard cover.”
Growing up, she had a hard time finding YA books outside of Christopher Pike
and R.L. Stine, and instead tackled Tom Clancy or her mom’s romance novels.
Though her career path zigzagged a bit—she attended college as a music major,
earned a JD from Pace Law School, then worked various jobs throughout the
publishing industry—Moe was thrilled to join the BookEnds team in May of 2015
as a literary agent and the subsidiary rights director.

Sharon Pelletier
Sharon Pelletier
joined Dystel, Goderich & Bourret in 2013 after working for Europa
Editions and Barnes & Noble. At DG&B, in addition to growing her own
client list, Sharon oversees digital projects and social media. While her
interests include upmarket fiction and narrative nonfiction, in the suspense
realm Sharon is seeking fresh literary thrillers and unexpected procedurals.
She particularly encourages submissions from marginalized writers of suspense
fiction.

Laura Zats
Laura Zats graduated
from Grinnell College with degrees in English and anthropology. She began
working in the publishing industry in 2011, joining Red Sofa Literary in
2013. As an agent, she specializes in children’s fiction, science fiction and
fantasy, and romance. She is also one-half of the weekly publishing podcast,
Print Run. In her free time, Laura serves on the board of the Minnesota Book
Publishers’ Roundtable, teaches classes on writing and publishing, and drinks
a lot of tea. Connect with her on Twitter @LZats.
|
|
*All conference attendees are
invited to submit a query letter for their novel for a written critique as
part of each registration. Please note that any one of the instructing
agents may ask for additional materials if the initial submission shows
serious promise.
