About this Event
When it comes to publishing, every writer needs a good agent, and when you find your agent it can be the perfect match. We’re delighted to welcome Jamie Carr of The Book Group for a discussion with Ava Robinson about Ava’s path to publication, their work together as agent and author, and advice on how writers can find their own perfect match.
This event will include a brief reading from DEFINITELY BETTER NOW (a Book of the Month Club pick!) Books will be for sale courtesy of Transom Bookshop and refreshments will be served.
This event is free and open to the public. Parking is available in the Andrews Lot. RSVP today!
