    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.

Her emphasis is on children's, YA, and New Adult, with a strong love for fantasy, complemented by romance and a broad remit within those categories. She prioritizes world-building and character-driven stories and is watching trends in YA and the younger end of the market closely.
276 Isabel Lineberry | Literary Agent
Q: How did you get into publishing and eventually become a literary agent?
Isabel explains how she discovered publishing as a field she loved, then learned about agenting only during a master's program in Scotland. After a talk with an agent, she cold emailed many agents in London, leading to a few responses and her eventual role at Prez Literary. The process is mentorship-driven and not a single direct path, which inspired her to pursue it despite initial uncertainties.

Q: How has your writing process evolved from the first draft to working with an editor at Pan Macmillan?
She explains moving from a more plot-driven approach to a character-driven process, valuing improvisation and joy in writing, and appreciating the editor's flexibility to accommodate her unique “panzer” style.
272 Louise Austin | Children's Fantasy Author
Q: Tell us about the book and what makes it unique for middle-grade readers.
Louise describes a reluctant vampire kid who must balance school life with a high-stakes supernatural quest, emphasizing the humor, illustrations, and a supportive adult cast to keep the story accessible and engaging.
