#77 Come From a Place of Passion and Honesty in Your Writing Life

Megan Beadle ran her own literary agency for several years. So, if you’ve been listening to the last run of episodes, that word, agent, rings a bell. Ding, ding! We’re still talking about literary agency with the intention of both demystifying the role of agents a little and encouraging you, dear writer, to follow your path with intentionality and self-knowledge.Trends come and go, as she says, by being honest with yourself, you can always be proud of the work you produce.If you’re new to the podcast and started listening here, I encourage you to go back and check out those previous conversations, starting with episode 73, where Lacey Yong talks about how she found an agent and kept her own agency in the process, episode 74, in which Jessica Waite talks about navigating family relationships when publishing a memoir that spills some family tea, episode 75, in which my colleague at Room Geffen Semach takes us through the vast landscape of literary folks who work behind the scenes, and episode 76, in which Wendy Atwell talks about making her own map, finding the shape of her non-traditional formed memoir.Find a transcript and all the show notes for this episode on http://rachelthompson.co/podcast/77
