Ah, the coveted book deal. It's a writer's holy grail—even in the golden age of self-publishing. But you can't get a book deal without a literary agent. They're the gatekeepers between you and the shelves at Barnes & Noble. Stacey Glick is one of the best literary agents in the business. And in this episode of Write About Now, she gives honest and actionable advice on how to get noticed by an agent, what publishers are buying (and not buying), and the one untapped market you might now know about. As Vice President of the New York City agency Dystel, Goderich, and Bourret, Stacey represents an impressive and eclectic list of authors. On the adult side, she covers such topics as memoirs, cooking and food, psychology, science, health and wellness, lifestyle, current events, pop culture, and select adult contemporary fiction. On the children's side: YA, middle grade, nonfiction, and picture books. For more about her agency and their submission guidelines, check out https://www.dystel.com/
