5. Agents vs Schmagents, with guest agent Kate Testerman
literaticat.substack.com
I give the skinny on how to spot SCHMAGENTS in the wild - aka scammy and scummy fake "agents" who take naive writers for a ride. Then superagent Kate Testerman joins me for frank talk about how to work with an agent, the ever-loving slowness of publishing, how to choose comp titles, and even the eternal question: When to give up on publishing dreams and go learn to become a carpenter. We also touch on fanfiction, Maurice Sendak, Pokemon, possessed nutcrackers, and Doctor Who. It's a wild ride!
