Agents & Books

In 2019, I started a newsletter as a way to get publishing information out there for writers to learn, understand, and apply to their work and careers. Publishing is an opaque business, and it’s my goal to teach writers at all levels what it means to get and be published. You can read it at agentsandbooks.com.
