  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

300 Max Doty | From Reddit's NoSleep to a Debut Horror Novel & Game Writing
Q: Are there any useful things that you know now that you wished you'd known when you first started?
Doty recommends kindness, listening to advice and staying collaborative. In brainstorming, he says writers should offer an alternative when they object to an idea, and should treat editorial notes as signs that something may need attention while still using their own judgment.
300 Max Doty | From Reddit's NoSleep to a Debut Horror Novel & Game Writing
Q: Tell us a little bit about The House That Eats the Dead.
Doty describes a couple who move into a Queen Anne mansion in Los Altos that consumes dead things, making them disappear from existence and erasing others' memories of them.
299 Mia Dakin | Literary Agent on Building a List, AI in Publishing & Querying Advice
Q: Are there any like specific things, maybe a specific genre, a character or a setting that you are really hoping to see pop up in your submissions?
Dakin is looking for multi-generational, multi-narrative sagas, fresh retellings, and twisty crime or locked-room mysteries. She is also interested in mythology from cultures that receive less attention.
299 Mia Dakin | Literary Agent on Building a List, AI in Publishing & Querying Advice
Q: So how did you find that first author then, if sort of to the outside world, you're not available as like someone to represent?
Dakin found Amy Hughes through Instagram after seeing a mood board for her book. She asked to read pages, liked the work, and brought the potential representation to the agency director.
298 Alix E. Harrow | Hugo Award Winner on Book Deals & Writing Advice
Q: Do you think that your idea of success as an author has changed from when you were first kind of looking to get into the industry?
Harrows reflects that her sense of success has shifted from the initial dream of simply having a book on a shelf to a broader, more nuanced aim that balances commercial and critical recognition, while still valuing the creative process and staying connected to the work itself.
