Bad On Paper


Nov 1, 2023

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!
