Writers & Agents: The Truth, The Myths, and The Deal, with Julian Friedmann Third Session

The third of this repeating session: In this open, honest, and interactive session, leading literary agent Julian Friedmann lifts the curtain on the real dynamics of the writer–agent relationship in 2026.

Date: Friday, April 10th
Time: 14:00 to 15:10

Room: Room T011
Filmed: YES

From queries and submissions to contracts, career strategy, and long-term collaboration, Julian will address the questions writers often hesitate to ask—about representation, expectations, communication, and navigating the business side of creativity.

This is your chance to get straight answers on what agents look for, how decisions are really made, and how to build a productive, professional partnership that supports your career.

Delegates are encouraged to come armed with their questions in advance and be ready to take part in a lively, practical Q&A that puts clarity, confidence, and transparency at the heart of the writer–agent relationship.
