Laurie McLean, a partner at Fuse Literary Agency, will speak about her predictions for the publishing industry in 2018. Following the presentation, she will be doing a round robin-style Pitch Practice for SVRWA Members. Members will have three minutes to give their pitch and Laurie will provide feedback. If we have more interest than slots, we will draw names from a hat.
