Understanding how agents think, how submissions work, and how to position your book can dramatically change your publishing path. We’re excited to welcome Rose Friel Conway as our next Industry Expert Guest. Rose is a literary agent and the founder of Foreword Literary Consulting, with over 12 years of experience. She helps authors navigate traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing with clarity and strategy. Her career began with an internship at Simon & Schuster, and she later worked across agency and hybrid publishing before launching her consulting practice to support authors directly. As of 2026, Rose is also representing adult and select young adult commercial fiction as a literary agent with Confluence Literary Agency, while continuing to consult with nonfiction authors on proposals, queries, and publishing strategy. In this session, we’ll discuss: • How literary agents evaluate submissions • What makes a strong query or proposal • Traditional vs hybrid vs indie publishing pathways • Mistakes authors make when approaching agents • How to position your book for the right publishing path If you're writing a book to grow your impact, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
