To celebrate the start of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) we’re chatting with Carly Watters, SVP and Senior Literary Agent at P.S Literary and co-host of The Shit No One Tells You About Writing Podcast!
We ask Carly about trends in fiction, how to know when a manuscript is ready, how book deals are made, if it actually is harder than ever to sell a book right now, and more!
