Joy Harris and Connie May Fowler will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about agents — who they are, what they do and how they do it, and how to find the right one for your work. Plus what authors should expect, and how the relationship between author and agent can grow and deepen, or go sour. Come prepared with questions!

Joy Harris has been a literary agent since 1981. In 1990 she established her own agency. Her interest is in working directly with writers to help guide their careers, negotiate on their behalf, and protect their work; she takes great pleasure in finding new authors and, of course, in reading.

Connie May Fowler is a novelist, memoirist, and screenwriter. Her most recent work, How Clarissa Burden Learned to Fly is forthcoming in April from Grand Central Publishing. The Problem with Murmur Lee, published in 2005 was chosen as Redbook’s premier book club selection. Other works include When Katie Wakes, a memoir that explores her descent and escape from an abusive relationship, Remembering Blue and Before Women had Wings, which she adapted for Oprah Winfrey, resulting in an Emmy-winning film. Her work has been translated into 15 languages and is published worldwide.
