2012 Meeting Schedule
February 11, 2012 – Christine Witthohn, Book Cents Literary Agency
Before pursuing her passion for books, Christine studied biology, chemistry and nursing. A hopeless overachiever, she shocked everyone when she decided to tackle a career in publishing instead of medicine, and dedicated all her time and efforts to becoming a ‘super literary agent’ and networking goddess.Â
In 2006, after researching the industry, the market, and the craft for more than four years, as well as establishing an impressive contact list of industry professionals, Christine opened Book Cents Literary Agency. She loves a great story, but more importantly wants to be the one to sell it!Â
Christine will be talking about the state of the industry as well as answering any questions you may have. She’s also agreed to take pitches at the end of the meeting! (Three pitches will be raffled—details at the meeting.) Don’t miss the opportunity to get your work (and your face) in front of an experienced literary agent.
