  • Summary

  • In this last episode of Season One, I'm talking with Amy Bishop.  Amy is a literary agent at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret. She's the second book agent I've had on the show this season and I'll continue to bring agents on because I think it's so important to hear different perspectives. Also, remember -- while you're going to be pitching many agents, you just need to find one!

    Be sure to listen all the way through because Amy drops some serious wisdom about:
    -What agents are really doing after you've pitched them and are sitting on pins and needles, waiting to hear from them.
    -How she's found some of her authors from articles, online publications that they've written in, and how she's reached out to them.
    -Why she loves "untold history" AND why we need to hear from diverse perspectives and BIPOC (yes we do!)
    -What not to do when you pitch her or seriously, any other agent, please!
