  • Excellent

    Interesting and intelligent questions about the writing and agenting process. As an unagented writer of MG and PB, I’ve found this podcast reassuring and inspiring.

  • A writer’s paradise!

    I was a guest on this pod back at its inception and now I can’t stay away! Plus I’ve become an avid listener - what writer doesn’t want to hear agent trends, interviews with best selling authors, and more! Excellent resource for writers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

284 Mike Lawson | Indie/Hybrid Romcom Author
Q: What role did the Novelry play in bringing the book to life, and what did you learn from that experience?
Novelry provided online courses, coaching, and an editing scholarship that helped me structure the story, develop characters, and polish the manuscript. It also led to a submission pathway via agents, even though the book later found its path through self-publishing alongside traditional representation.
284 Mike Lawson | Indie/Hybrid Romcom Author
Q: Tell us about your new book, Winging It, and what inspired it.
Winging It is a male-male romcom inspired by my 17-year career as cabin crew. It takes readers onboard Tiny World Airlines, exploring Callum's heartbreak, the crew dynamics, and a romance with the flight's engineer, all while grounding the story in authentic aviation experiences and a darker, more truthful take on queer relationships.
285 Lauren Gardner | Literary Agent
Q: Let's talk about your list now more specifically. So in a broad sense, in terms of genre and age groups, what is it? What sort of books, what sort of stories, what sort of authors do you represent?
I represent children's fiction from young fiction up to YA, plus new adult crossover and commercial women's fiction with a focus on romance and romantic comedy, and I also handle non-fiction across children to adult fields, especially memoir and problem-based topics.
283 Lindsey Byrd | Fantasy Author and Historian
Q: So is there a story behind Lindsey Byrd?
Yes. I publish academically under my real name, so I use a pen name for fiction to keep the two realms separate and avoid readers conflating medical expertise with fantasy rules. The name comes from a childhood dream of becoming a bird, keeping Lindsey with a Y as a nod to that story.
281 Isabelle Mongeau | Fantasy Author
Q: Tell us a little bit about The Debtor's Game.
Isabelle explains it's a dark fantasy trilogy where debt is tattooed on people's bodies and updated as they pay or accrue more debt, using the setting as a metaphor for wealth disparity and political power.
