Comps and queries and slush piles, oh my! Get the answers to some burning publishing questions by literary agent Cecilia Lyra of P.S. Literary in this first instalment of #AskAgent on the podcast! Questions were sent via Twitter in a previous call out. During the Q&A, you'll hear Cece mention a couple of things to provide in the show notes. They are:
1. This quick read provides results of the Bowker Study that shows more adults are reading YA: https://www.shelf-awareness.com/issue.html?issue=1827#m17466
2. The name of the author who self-published, then traditionally published, then went back to self-publishing is K.A. Tucker, and you can catch her interview with Bianca Marais on The Shit No One Tells You About Writing podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shit-no-one-tells-you-about-writing/id1530250126?i=1000499455239
