In this episode, hosts Theo and Julia sit down with Charlotte Colwill, co-founder of the independent literary agency Colwill & Peddle, to discuss how both aspiring and established authors can find the right literary agent for them.
Charlotte brings a wealth of experience to the conversation, having worked in bookselling before transitioning to the world of literary representation, where she currently represents authors of fiction, nonfiction, and children's literature.
Listeners can expect to learn about the role of a literary agent and what makes a strong pitch, as well as hearing anecdotes and examples from her own experiences working with authors and publishers.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
