Episode Six: Agents

Gatekeepers, cheerleaders, partners-in-crime, the person you call to talk you down from a panic attack, or the person standing in the way of your dream. Literary agents have been labeled many different things in the publishing industry, but mostly they’re just people who love books just as much as you do. Bri and Mer, who were signed a few months apart in 2016, discuss their journey to getting representation, offer advice on the agent-writer relationship, and, gasp!, read their query letters. Come for the nuanced discussion about finding the right agent for you and stay for the typos they both find in said query letters. Books mentioned:Famesick, Lena Dunham
