Getting And Working With An Agent

Our inaugural UWaterloo English Creative and Professional Writing Roundtable will be held on Tues, Jan 22nd, at 11:30-12:40, in PHY 145. The topic is “Getting and Working With An Agent": Many presses only accept submissions from agented authors. So how do you get an agent? What does that agent do? And how does having an agent shape your career trajectory? Join novelist Robin Lefler and children’s author Kate Jenks Landry for a discussion. Robin Lefler is the author of novels Not How I Pictured It and Reasonable Adults (both HarperCollins). Kate Jenks Landry’s picture books include Beatrice and Barb, A Summer Without Anna, and the forthcoming All the Basements on Blackberry Street (all Kids Can Press). The second UWaterloo English Creative and Professional Writing Roundtable is scheduled for Fall 2026. The topic is Publishing Your Work. Featured speakers are Vincent Anioke and Vinh Nguyen.
