Getting to talk to an agent or an acquisition editor is a valuable experience.
What does an agent do? What does an acquisition editor do?
An agent represents the author. Agent earns his/her commission when he/she lands a publisher for the author. An acquisition editor buy authors’ works for the publisher he/she works for; publisher offers the author a contract (publisher buys/author sells the rights to publish); agent gets his/her 15% commission.
“Meet the Agents and Acquisition Editors” a signature event of Women’s National Book Association (WNBA-SF Chapter)
