Kim Stewart

If you are hoping to partner with a traditional publisher, you will most likely need a literary agent to represent you. They will be your biggest cheerleader throughout the contract and publishing process.

My guest today is Barb Roose, publishing agent at Books and Such, and the nonfiction author of eight books and Bible studies.

Barb is sharing:

  • The advantages of having a literary agent if you want to traditionally publish your book
  • Top four features that agents look for in a book proposal
  • Ways to share that you are already connecting with your target readers
  • Tips for preparing for an agent appointment at a conference to ease your anxiety
  • Her author-to-author tips to help you keep going when the going gets tough
