In today’s Books with Hooks, Bianca, Carly, and CeCe are joined by two awesome guests, author Rachel Kapelke-Dale and her agent, Sarah Phair.

They discuss ensuring your comps align with each other and with your work; making sure your query is representative of your whole novel and not just one part; using your author bio to help show why you’re the one to write this story; the concept of auto-fiction; the importance of highlighting the POV you’re writing from; being specific with your plot points in your query; finding the right balance between what you withhold and what you reveal; and the need to show your character’s emotions, especially messy ones.

After which, Bianca interviews Kelly McMasters, author of The Leaving Season which is a memoir in essays. The two unpack writing essays vs a linear timeline in memoir; publishing essays from the collection ahead of the book’s release; deciding what to include and what to leave out; how to know where to begin; using external events and settings as metaphors for your character’s emotionality; what memoirists owe their readers vs what they owe themselves; community vs platform; and making it all matter to the reader.
