With Simon Trewin, Literary Agent at PFD, interviewed by Julia McCutchen, Writers’ Coach & Publishing Consultant

Does the thought of approaching agents with your book ideas leave you feeling stuck and lacking in confidence because you’re just not sure how to go about it?

If so, you’re not alone!

Many writers experience similar anxieties when it comes to approaching literary agents. And it is totally understandable. The market is tough these days and ever-increasing numbers of writers are looking for representation by an agent as a first step to signing a deal with a publisher.

What you need is access to an expert to answer your questions and the chance to hear the inside story of what agents are really looking for.

Well, this is your opportunity to experience just such a situation with Simon Trewin, Literary Agent and Joint Head of the Books Department at PFD (www.pfd.co.uk).

Simon's clients include Andrew Miller, Scarlett Thomas, Steven Hall, Danny Wallace, John Boyne and bloggers Petite Anglaise and The Girl With A One Track Mind. He receives 6000 unsolicited approaches a year and rejects 98% of them within 5 minutes of receipt because they are ill-crafted or poorly thought out. In this session he will give you the ammunition to have a better chance of bring one of those 2% who make the grade.

How do teleseminars work?

Simple! Teleseminars are just like telephone conference calls which enable you to enjoy all of the benefits of a live seminar in the comfort of your own home.

When you register, you will receive an email with the telephone number and the access code you need to participate in the call. You simply call the telephone number you have been sent and key in the access code to your telephone key pad when prompted by the recorded message - and you’ll be in!

What if I can’t make the live call?

No problem – you can still register to receive the MP3 recording AND the word-for-word transcript any time before or after the live call!
