- One of the best podcasts for querying writers but ...
I listened to every episode of his podcast, and the three hosts provide invaluable insight into writing a query letter. Although, at times, the two agents on the show, Carly Watters and Cece Lyra, can be contradictory in their advice from episode to episode. Today, they may say x is OK, and in two weeks, say don’t do x, which can be confusing. It also feels that they expect the authors to present the entire story in the first five pages, yet say not to divulge too much. more
