Okay, so I went to a writers conference and here's the breakdown...
If you're looking for a literary agent or a publisher,
attend a writers convention!
I met so many literary agents, and of course I had a copy of my synopsis and my manuscripts... I have written a children's picture book, which received a lot of interest and requests for submission.
They're looking for children's books that are silly, funny, no rhymes necessary…
If you're interested in getting your children's book published, check out this group you can join: Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCWI)
I also interviewed literary agents and even a publisher! And they're all looking for clients. And these are podcasts, yes, you can actually hear me asking the questions and them answering…

From the Album Shalla Chats With Literary Agent Jennifer Unter
Foundry Literary Media's literary agent Stephen Barbara has an online class, it's $125 but if she covers the type of genre you're writing it may be helpful to you.
And congrats to Laura Rennert from the Andrea Brown Literary Agency.
