293 Kate Barker | Literary Agent

What does it take to find a literary agent and navigate today's ever-shifting publishing world?

In this episode, Jamie sits down with publishing veteran and literary agent Kate Barker to pull back the curtain on the industry. Kate talks about the ways in which AI and social media are changing author discoverability, why she asks for the first 500 words of a manuscript in her queries but not a synopsis.

Whether you're fine-tuning a pitch or love bookish insider talk, this conversation is packed with goodies.
