Dear all,
We hope you’ve had a chance to enjoy the sunshine! It was great to see so many of you at our Q&A with agent Katie Greenstreet on Wednesday – read on for highlights and how to catch up if you missed it. There’s also info about our latest discount and how to win yourself a place on our PWA course, Edit Your Novel the Professional Way.
💬 Cornerstones in Conversation with Katie Greenstreet
Thank you to those who came along to our live Q&A with the wonderful Katie Greenstreet, Agent at Paper Literary! We gained so many useful insights from her (helped along by your thoughtful questions), and learnt about her average workday and her tips for submitting.
You can catch all the highlights here, via our Twitter thread: find out what Katie likes in a submission, what makes a query letter stand out, and what kind of books sell internationally. If you wanted to attend and couldn’t make it, please do email one of the team for access to the recording.
