The Middle-Grade Market
It’s common to feel nostalgic about our favorite books from childhood, and many writers want to bring that literary magic to the next generation of readers. The novels, nonfiction books, and comics that make up the Middle-Grade category are beloved by many, but the success of this category has made it a competitive category to break into as a writer. It’s crucial to understand the current market for Middle-Grade books if you want to become a published author in this space.
There are many expectations surrounding content, narrative structure, and character development when it comes to writing for the Middle-Grade market. If you want to be an author in this category, you need to be seeking answers to the following questions: What components make up a bestselling Middle-Grade book? How can you make your book stand out in the crowded Middle-Grade market? What kind of Middle-Grade projects are editors looking to acquire at major publishing houses? How can the pitch for your Middle-Grade manuscript catch the attention of literary agents? This webinar offers answers to all of these questions and more.
In The Middle-Grade Market, literary agent Maria Vicente covers everything you need to know about the business of writing and publishing books in this space. The live webinar registration includes a live virtual presentation followed by a Q&A session.
