Class Introduction
(audience applauding) Hi everyone. Landing a literary agent is like the Holy Grail for writers, even in the publishing landscape that has changed so much lately. There's so many different opportunities. There's so much that's just moving in the publishing industry. It's still kind of that top thing that people want. There's so much desperation and sort of fear and mystery around how to land an agent, and my job today is to help you demystify that. It's a process that can totally be learned. It's a process like any other that you can take step by step by step and it ends up not being a mystery, and I want it to end up not being something for you that is filled with that fear and despair that so often I see in writers. They just get so frantic around it. There's no reason for that. We're gonna break it down and we're gonna go through everything. I have to warn you, there's a lot of information in this class. I'm gonna throw a lot at you. We're gonna go fast through some really complex ...
things but you can keep up. I want you to get the whole big scope of it, the whole big picture. The big takeaway, if there's nothing else that you take away from this class today, I want you to take this away. Pitching is not throwing darts at a board. It's a strategic undertaking. It's a thing that you have to be really intentional about and very strategic about, and just that concept alone is gonna change your mindset in a way that I hope is gonna really help you know exactly what to do. That's the big picture idea.

Awesome and fun class. Jennie condenses the most valuable information and presents it in a way any author can use. Great bonus materials. The query letter was striking and helpful. I wouldn't query without applying Jennie's tools and I'd sleep better knowing I'd used them.
