On this episode, we'll be learning what makes the perfect book manuscript with our guest, Dr. Kyle McCord. Kyle is the author of seven books, has work featured or forthcoming in Boston Review, The Harvard Review, The Kenyon Review, and elsewhere, and -- perhaps most importantly for us -- he served as associate poetry editor of The Nation and currently serves as Executive Editor of Gold Wake Press and Acquisitions Director for Atmosphere Press. From packaging and presenting your manuscript with the quintessential cover letter to making sure the manuscript itself is the best it can possibly be (because, really, it's results we're looking for!), Kyle delivers a ton of practical advice in under ten minutes.
