Here's your chance to corner one of the most straight-talking, free-thinking literary agents in the country. What are agents looking for? What should you do to capture their attention? What should you never do? Carrie Kania spent 15 years in US publishing, most recently as publisher of Harper Perennial and publisher/found of It Books. She moved to London two years ago to become a literary agent with Conville and Walsh and is co-owner of the independent bookstore and literary venue, The Society Club in Soho.
