Agent/Editor Speed Networking | December 12, 2013
by Jen Ung
Who needs speed dating when you can spend an evening speed networking?
On October 1st, nearly 60 editors and agents gathered at The Australian for the Early Career Committee’s annual agent/editor mixer. Attendees spent the first hour mixing and mingling over drinks and lovely conversations about all things bookish. Editors and agents were then paired up with each other to have concise, two-minute one-on-one sessions where they were able to hash out the nitty-gritty details of what they do, what they’re looking for, and what they think about the current trends in children’s book publishing. In the end, business cards were exchanged, new friendships and valuable business connections were forged, and delicious French fries were consumed. A productive evening was had by all!
