FIVE things I worked on the last couple days as a Literary Agent…

1) A submission package for a clients book and thinking about comps (nonstop)

2) Helped an independent publisher curate a list of 120+ book club leaders for one of his authors in the medical thriller space

3) Reached out to experts in two different fields about possible representation for non-fiction work (passion projects of mine)

4) Talked over coffee with an editor at a big five publishing house (dreams for books and what is upcoming)

5) I shared a clients book to a major producer for film and tv adaptation and discussed levels of partnership

If you ever have any questions on working with a literary agent, comment and I will get back to as many as I can! I love doing what I do and the authors I work with ❤️

Before polishing sentences, fix the structure. Dev Edits and Manuscript Reviews are the most important stages in making your book publishable. Here is why developmental edits and manuscript reviews are so important:

1️⃣ Developmental Edit are the story-architecture check that determines whether your book works before anyone touches grammar.

2️⃣ Manuscript Review are the high-level diagnostic that shows you what’s strong, what’s weak, and what needs fixing first.

3️⃣ Both are big-picture edits. One is the diagnosis (Manuscript Review). One is the treatment plan (Dev Edit). Together, they keep you from wasting months or years rewriting the wrong problems.

4️⃣ If your plot drags, your ending falls flat, or your characters feel “off,” those are developmental issues (not line-edit issues). Fix the structure and everything else becomes easier.
