Hows the deal with Irene Goodmans agency work?
The Irene Goodman Literary Agency will review the top three prizewinners for possible representation. The decision is up to them, and SFWP won’t have a say. There are many things a literary agent must consider, and much of that can be dependent on the always changing nature of the industry. If they choose not to represent you, then that is the final word. Nor will they be able to provide feedback, unless they decide to do so.
