This informational session with Ashley Lopez, a literary agent and rights manager at Waxman Literary Agency, will cover all the basics on what an agent expects from you and what you should expect from an agent. We'll cover the do's and dont's of querying, how to find your shortlist of dream agents, and what the querying process can look like. There will also be discussions about when it's time to get an agent and what an agent can do for you. Come with any and all publishing industry questions and get honest answers to help you take control of your writing career. Informational, lecture-based session, yet lots of time devoted to participants' questions. For fiction and nonfiction writers interested in learning about traditional publishing. Limited to 25 writers. 


WHEN: Sunday, April 11 (1 - 3pm EST)

WHERE: Online, via Zoom video conference (live)

Her writing has appeared in The Rumpus, Cosmonauts Avenue, Columbia Literary Journal, and elsewhere, and her work has been nominated for Best American Short Stories.

RECEIVING THE ZOOM LINK: For one-day workshops, we send out the link to attend the Zoom session 1 - 2 days before the event, via email. For multi-week workshops, you should receive info and the link about 3 - 5 days before. Please mark your calendars when you first register and look for our emails. If you don't see the email in your inbox on the day before the class, please check your spam and junk mail folders (and search all folders) for an email from joy@pioneervalleywriters.org before contacting us. We have found that very often our emails end up in those folders. This is based on your own email settings, and you can prevent this by adding our email as a contact.


ONLINE SESSIONS happen remotely, via Zoom video conference. All you need is a laptop, computer, or phone with functioning audio and a webcam. Those who RSVP receive directions and a link to "join" the session via email (please see above note about receiving the Zoom link). All online instructors will log on to the video conference a few minutes before the start of the session, so please plan to log on early if you'd like assistance! We'll do everything in our power to help you get comfortable with the Zoom format, though we are not able to offer technical assistance beyond basic Zoom orientation.

What People Are Saying About PVWW

"Can't say enough about PVWW, Joy, and her amazing team of teachers! Writing is very much about the ability to sit in your seat for hours and put pen to paper, but coming to PVWW has helped me build a community around my writing, breathe new life into my efforts, and get out of my own head a bit. And beyond that, I've learned lots of practical, nuts-and-bolts techniques that have vastly improved my work."
- Emily Everett, Editor at The Common
