Our new summer series of lectures is here! Short and to the point and with time for Q&A to answer all your questions, Writespace Lectures are bite-size learning opportunities meant to be accesible to all and introduce the instructors of Writespace Writing Center workshops to all.

Getting a Literary Agent, led by Sean Morrissey Carroll, will give aspiring authors a leg up when it comes to the business of writing and getting over the first challenge in traditional publishing. We will discuss resources to find the right literary agent for your manuscript, formatting and polish, and submitting queries that get your work the attention it deserves.
