How do agents decide who to pick up? How does querying work? Are agents involved in the editorial process or the marketing process for authors? How does the mass exodus we are seeing in publishing affect the industry and are agents worried? If you have asked yourself any of these questions, you will love today's episode with special guest, John Cusick! John is a Senior Vice President at Folio Literary Management and the agent to many well known authors, such as Laura Sebastian, Joan He, Julie Murphy and so many others!
As a warning: We had some slight audio problems for the first two questions but we fixed it 4 min in. I didn't realize we needed to rerecord the first two questions until after the interview, but it was all fixed and wonderful from about the 4 min mark on!
