I’m still on the lookout for a literary agent β itβs both exciting and a little overwhelming. I’m especially curious about the experiences of other writers in Canada. How did you find your agent? Through conferences, referrals, cold queries, social media?
Any tips on what to avoid or what absolutely worked for you would be incredibly helpful. I’d love to hear both the good and the not-so-great stories β they all help paint a realistic picture of the process.
π And if you’re still searching too β how are you approaching it?
Feel free to share in the comments or reach out through the contact form. I’m eager to hear how your journey is going.
Thank you!
