    281. How To Know When Your Piece is Finished
    Jun 24 2024
    How do you know when your piece is done? I am often asked this question and there are no clear answers. After months of writing and revising how do you know your book, essay, and articles are solid and ready to send to editors? In this episode we discuss the signs to watch for that indicate you have reached The End--part intuition, part copy blindness, and even some satisfaction--and the practices you need to perform before sending out the final document.

    280. Agent Lucinda Halpern Explains What Agents Are Looking For
    Jun 17 2024
    Working with an experienced agent can help a writer improve their books and get them published, but before signing with an agent, you need to have a Big Idea, clear title concept, and other key elements, in your work and pitch, that will make your book an "easy get," says renowned agent and author Lucinda Halpern. In this episode, Halpern goes deep into what agents want and how writers can not only create fantastic work but then put their business hats on to connect with an agent and sell their manuscripts. Halpern is a literary agent with over 15 years experience, and the founder of Lucinda Literary, based in New York. She's worked in publicity for HarperCollins, and has worked with all major publishers, including Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette, and Scholastic, representing New York Times and internationally best-selling authors in the categories of business, personal growth, psychology, narrative nonfiction, and upmarket fiction. Her classes and coaching programs have been taught to hundreds of writers worldwide, and became the inspiration for Get Signed: Find an Agent, Land a Book Deal, and Become a Published Author (Hay House/Penguin Random House; February 2024).

    279. Managing Writer's Anxiety
    Jun 8 2024
    We can be a neurotic bunch of writers irritated when we feel blocked, euphoric when the writing comes, worrying about if we are good enough, internalizing comments and criticism, stressing about every word and detail trying to work up the nerve to hit "send" and release the work to the world. But this anxiety can keep us from writing and diminish the quality of our work. Plus, it isn't a whole lot of fun. In this episode, we talk about how anxiety can block writers and what we can do to overcome it and keep writing.
