Literary Agents

Seeking new clients? Anxious to see Yosemite?

Contact us, and let our references describe how important this event is to you.

NOTE: If you are not seeking new talent, we cannot help you visit Yosemite. There are numerous conferences providing reps with free weekends at nice hotels in desireable locales, knowing those agents have no sincere intent of acquiring new clients. However, the Central California Writers' Conference is not one of them.
