🧑🏫 AGENT HOUR: Query Letter Feedback & AMA w/ Literary Agent Tommy Dean
** This is a LIVE session and will not be recorded. **
Want to crack the code of the publishing industry?
Agent Hours is your chance to connect directly with literary agents, ask questions, and see live feedback on query letters—all in a dynamic, interactive session designed to help you level up your querying game.
This week, we're thrilled to welcome literary agent Tommy Dean to Agent Hour.
Ask your questions about:
The Querying Process: From crafting the perfect pitch to landing your dream agent.
Author/Agent Relationships: What makes a successful partnership?
Query Letter Feedback: Submit yours and learn what works—and what doesn’t.
Even if you don’t get direct feedback, you’ll gain invaluable insights from hearing agents tackle real questions and query letters.
