Agents Helping Authors is a professional education and consulting platform created by veteran literary agent Amy Collins. With over 30 years of experience in the book industry—including time as a book buyer, sales director, and bestselling author—Amy launched AHA to give writers the insider tools and guidance they need to successfully navigate traditional publishing.

At AHA, we focus on what matters most: helping authors create query letters, book proposals, and marketing plans that truly stand out. Through live Zoom workshops, self-paced classes, and one-on-one consulting sessions, Amy works directly with writers to evaluate what’s working in their pitch—and what’s not. Then she helps rebuild it, piece by piece, with clear, strategic feedback grounded in real publishing data.

Whether you’ve been querying for a year with no bites or you’re getting ready to pitch for the first time, AHA offers targeted support to help you get industry-ready. We cover everything from revision strategy and synopsis writing to comp title research and platform building.

Writers who work with Agents Helping Authors walk away with more than just a stronger pitch—they leave with clarity, confidence, and a toolkit they can use long after the course ends. If you’re serious about getting traditionally published, this is where your next chapter begins.
