The life of an agent is full of long lunches and torrid tales of schmoozing publishers on behalf of celebrity authors. Or is it? There are many misconceptions around what agents do and, with daily tasks changing significantly from even 10 years ago, we wanted to lift the veil on the role. In this episode, we speak to experienced agents Abi Fellows (DHH Literary Agency) and Julia Silk (Greyhound Literary). With many years between them in literary agenting and publishing roles, they have a wealth of knowledge to share. We dive into what agents do now, how this has changed over the past decade, and what makes an author/agent/publisher relationship tick.
