Rountable with Barbara Poelle

AGENT MATCHMAKING

"Being a writer is about being able to craft beautiful prose, not pitching."


Barbara Poelle hates pitch sessions as much as authors do! Instead of speed dating, she let us chat her up for an hour. I expected a group date.

Instead, it became an agent matchmaking session! We could ask questions about anything - career, a specific story, industry trends, epublishing...

If you're writing historical fiction, be sure to check out the contest Irene Goodman is hosting on the agency website.

She suggested reading in your genre - as much as you write. So, write 2000 words, read 2000 words.
