We talk about how to submit during quarantine (Should you? Is publishing shut down? Is it really going as well as everyone says?), the importance of platform (and how selling nonfiction is different), and the emotional toll of rejections (and how agents feel about them).
We also talk about how to make your writing seem effortless, what NYC life is like for new agents (hint: lots of bagels).
