with Juvenile Writers of Kansas City
September 20, 2008
9 am to 4:30 pm
Kansas City Public Library
14 West 10th Street, Kansas City, MO 64105
Join us for Agents Day! We’ll welcome Tina Dubois Wexler from International Creative
Management, Linda Pratt from the Sheldon Fogelman Agency and Jennifer DeChiara of the Jennifer DeChiara Literary
Agency. They will speak about the children’s book market
and answer questions during the morning session, as well as take limited individual appointments.
The afternoon
features two sessions: In the panel discussion “Building an Identity,” agents will discuss how writers can create
a professional identity and use it as a marketing tool. And, back by popular demand, our “First Page” critique
session will let attendees have the first page of a manuscript read aloud and critiqued by the panel of agents.
