Are any of my followers writers looking for feedback or advocacy? My friend Léonicka, Canadian literary agent and brand-new lawyer, is open for consultation and contract work, and is especially interested in working with BIPOC writers. Check out her site for a list of her services: https://www.leonicka.com
Roy Phillips When a #literaryagent says, “I want to find the next Tamsyn Muir, Susanna Clarke, or Madeline Miller,” they don’t mean:
“Send me something as original, strange, or structurally wild as that debut manuscript was.”
What they really mean is:
“Send me something that gives readers the same feelings, tropes, and has the same market potential as that book—after it’s already proven successful.”

#writerscoffeeclub 16: What would be the best writing-related Christmas present someone could give you?
The best Christmas present would be a literary agent eager to represent my work.
Second-best would be a new laptop.

This month, Laura Bennett of the Liverpool Literary Agency has a deep-dive on the agent life, questions around subsidiary rights, what state your manuscript should be in before querying, and what's the best month to start sending stuff out.
