We talk with Molly Cusick (formerly Molly Jaffa) about her transition from agent to editor, what editorial meetings REALLY look like, and why many publishing rules are made to be broken.
As Molly says, love can appear when you least expect it—and this applies to books as well as relationships.
We also discuss Coney Island, historical NYC, and how she met her literary husband. (It’s very New York.)
You can meet with Molly (and book a written critique) here: manuscriptacademy.com/molly-cusick
Books she mentioned:
Side Effects May Vary and Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy
