Have you wondered about the possibility of publishing success without an agent or pondered how to find the right one? This workshop will address the critical factors authors need to consider when searching for agents, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of collaboration with an agent. 

You'll gain insights into the working relationship between authors and agents and learn how to navigate your career independently, should you choose to. Ying will draw on her experiences to unveil the strategies behind her writing achievements and provide a unique view on traversing the publishing terrain, with or without agent representation. If time allows, you'll have the opportunity to have your pitch critiqued by Ying and your peers.
