LitTea

LitTea

Welcome to LitTea, an interview podcast with a focus on querying agents and publishing transparency. In my agent interviews, we’ll discuss everything from common pitfalls and red flags, what to expect from an author-agent relationship, to agency staff and subrights, how editorial they are, and what they’re excited to see in their inboxes. With authors, we’ll discuss their querying journeys, their favorite writing tips and tricks, and what they wish they’d known before they started querying. To summarize: I’m here to spill all the LitTea. Transcripts available on my website!
