EP 46: The Agent Red Flags Every Picture Book Author Must Know (Watch Before Querying)

Описание: Querying agents with your picture book manuscript is challenging enough – without having to worry about scams.

This video dives into several warning signs to consider as you look for representation from a literary agent, including:

✅ No website.
✅ Asking for payment.
✅ No authors repped or titles sold.
✅ Receiving an email from an agent out of the blue.

Querying agents takes a considerable amount of time, so you want to make sure your efforts are only directed toward legitimate agents.
