IS THIS YOU?
YOU WROTE IT. YOU FINISHED IT.
NOW YOU’RE WONDERING WHAT’S NEXT.
You've done the writing. but you're not sure whether
it's truly ready to approach literary agents.
Your manuscript
is finished.
Literary representation is
part of the future you
envision for your work.
You Want Representation.
Who should I approach?
What should I send?
How do I prepare?
How do I know if I'm ready?
You Have
Questions.
You don't want to keep trying to piece the publishing
process together
on your own.
You're ready for guidance.
If you recognize yourself here, The Literary Agent Accelerator was created with writers like you in mind.
I've worked with so many talented writers who finished their manuscript and had no idea what came next.
That's not a talent problem. That's a knowledge gap
— and it's exactly what I built this for.
—Ruth P. Watson
WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE

Live sessions are held on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM ET.
Engage with Ruth and your cohort live online as you explore the path toward literary representation.
Learn how to position your manuscript, understand what literary agents are looking for, and identify the materials you'll need to prepare for
the next step.
