Agents 101

Trigger Warning: At 45:19 we talk about a book in which attempted SA occurs. If this is triggering for you, please resume at 46:13 if you would like to skip that part. In this episode we talk all about agents! What is an agent? Where do you look for one? How can you tell if one is reputable?Here are some of the authors, artists, and other things we brought up during the episode. Just a disclaimer - please do not take our word as fact. The publishing industry is always changing, and often we are talking about things we are remembering from a while ago or have heard from others. While the agent deep dive is always fact checked, we do not prep for these episodes or look up other information beforehand. Katelyn Detweiler, the agent from our agency deep dive:https://jillgrinbergliterary.com/about/#meet-the-teamhttps://querytracker.net/agent/4889https://www.publishersmarketplace.com/dealmakers/detail.cgi?sort=date&s=all&id=25849&p=2Query Shark:https://queryshark.blogspot.com/PubTips:https://www.reddit.com/r/PubTips/SCBWI’s “The Book”:https://www.scbwi.org/essential-guide-to-publishing-for-childrenBookends youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/BookEndsLiteraryAgencyQuery Tracker:https://querytracker.net/Query Manager:https://querymanager.com/app/dashboard/index.php3 Point Perspective Podcast:https://www.svslearn.com/3pointperspectiveAn article about the #publishingpaidme hashtag (it shares info on advances from different authors):https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jun/08/publishingpaidme-authors-share-advances-to-expose-racial-disparitiesAssociation of American Literary Agents:https://aalitagents.org/ The Happy Writer Podcast:https://www.marissameyer.com/podcast/Books we talked about:Kaetlyn Detwieler’s book mentioned in the episode, The First Date Prophecy:https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-first-date-prophecy/18846605?ean=9781496742841&next=tWintersong:https://bookshop.org/p/books/wintersong-s-jae-jones/8454784?ean=9781250157362&next=tDial A for Aunties:https://bookshop.org/p/books/dial-a-for-aunties-jesse-q-sutanto/16520404?ean=9780593333037&next=t
