Panelists include: Kurestin Armada (Root Literary), Nicole Cunningham (Trellis Literary Management), and Julie Stevenson (Massie, McQuilkin & Altman Literary Agents).
The slush pile is real, the inbox is overwhelming, and the rules keep changing—especially now. Join Shana Kelly and several agents for a candid conversation about what the querying process actually looks like in 2026: how they find new writers, what makes them keep reading, and what makes them stop. Come with your burning questions. Leave with a real map.
This event is a livestream. If you want to attend in person, check out the event here.
