Thinking about a career in publishing or literary representation? Dan Conaway, literary agent at Writers House, will discuss careers in literary representation, what a literary agent does and how he began his own career as a literary agent.
His presentation will begin at 5:30 p.m., April 12 in 320 Hall of Languages. The free event will also feature a Q-and-A session with attendees and a reception.
Conaway has worked as executive editor at Putnam; executive editor at HarperCollins; director of literary acquisitions at PolyGram Films and college traveler at W.W. Norton; has blogged as Mad Max Perkins at the once-renowned BookAngst 101; and is now a literary agent with Writers House in New York, which represents such international bestselling authors as Michael Lewis, Ken Follett, Stephen Hawking, Stephanie Meyer, Nora Roberts, Christopher Paolini and Neil Gaiman.
