Consultations Available Thursdays This Fall
October and November dates available
CONSULTATION FEE:
AWCS Members: $140.00

Imagine being able to workshop your query letter and first 20 pages with an agent. How valuable would that be to you as a writer? Now's your chance. Book a consultation with The Rights Factory Literary Agent, Natasha Mihell, and get the inside scoop on what makes agents tick, whether your query package is landing and better yet, where could it be improved. Natasha will examine the stakes, story and the character arc based on your sample and suggest ways to improve the saleability and audience engagement of your work.
This is meant as a learning opportunity and is not a pitch session. Agent representation is not guaranteed, though it could happen, so send your best.

Literary Agent Natasha Mihell chose this industry to celebrate the storyteller and to honour the art of story. She has been active in publishing since 2018, and writing since long before that. Natasha represents works that sing, move, and shimmer, and especially, those that are fearless in speaking their truths. She is primarily interested in fantasy (upmarket/lyrical) and horror (lyrical, gothic, dark and beautiful) but loves to read across most all genres, and both fiction and nonfiction.
