The Manuscript Academy Podcast
With Agent Lane Heymont and Author Julie Kingsley
We are thrilled to introduce our very own Julie Kingsley’s debut novel! It’s called The Space Between You and Me and came out this week!
“That summer, I finally grew into myself. The problem? I grew too fast. And fruit that grows too fast often bursts in the sunshine.”
With her agent Lane Heymont (Tobias Literary Agency), we discuss:
*What happens if you have film interest before book interest
*How Hollywood runs on FOMO (fear of missing out)
*How Julie got a sensitivity read with her film interest
*When book agents send your work to Hollywood
*When agents announce your book and why
*What “film interest” looks like after your book is announced
*Leveraging Hollywood pettiness to increase odds of an option
*How the etiquette of Hollywood is vastly different from NY Publishing
*The “secret sauce” for being fought over
*What is a hook?
*Planning your Easter Eggs
