welcomes
Literary Agent Verna Dreisbach
On Saturday, June 13, Verna Dreisbach of Dreisbach Literary Management (www.Dreisbachliterary.com) will be our guest speaker. She will address the role of the literary agent and what an author’s representative can do for a writer. We will learn how best to match an agent to our own particular writing and genre, how to approach and query an agent, and what happens once we are accepted for representation. She will also discuss the responsibilities of both agent and writer.
Dreisbach Literary Management offers professional representation for distinctive voices among both emerging and experienced writers. Verna has a particular interest in books with a political, economic or social context. With long experience in law enforcement, she has a deep interest and expertise in the mystery, thriller and true crime genres.
