Literary agents: what editors need to know

Details: What do agents actually do? And how can they help foster better relationships between publishers and authors? The business of publishing can be mysterious to those who don’t work within it. Authors generally have very little idea of what it takes, and how many people, to get their book ready for the market. Demystifying the process can make all the difference to a working relationship between editor and author.

Presenter: Jane Novak is a literary professional with over twenty years experience in bookselling and publishing. She is passionate about Australia’s local industry and the creation and promotion of Australian books and writers. The Jane Novak Literary Agency represents writers across all genres as well as a number of literary estates.
