Pre-Conference Webinar - Perfecting Your Pitch with Literary Agent Margaret Danko

September 10, 2022
2:00 PM EDT - 3:30 PM EDT
MWA Webinar Series
Learn the tricks for a successful agent pitch from Paper Over Board / Irene Goodman Agent Margaret Danko. Here is your chance to fine-tune what you plan to say when you meet with an agent at the 2022 Brain to Bookshelf conference coming in October.
About Margaret: Originally from the heart of the south, Margaret Danko received her BA from Oberlin College and her MFA from Temple University before moving into agenting with Paper Over Board at the Irene Goodman Literary Agency. A lover of the dark, the quirky, and the fantastical, Margaret has a keen eye for projects that take unexpected turns or are told from unusual perspectives. She believes that all books should move their readers, and she is passionate about empowering authors to engage and inspire.
