Your host, Bianca Marais (the author of 'Hum If You Don't Know the Words' and 'If You Want to Make God Laugh') will be interviewing authors, agents, editors, publicists, copy editors, creative writing instructors, writing groups, book sellers, jacket designers, audio book narrators, and just about anyone and everyone who's involved in bringing a book to market. She's joined by literary agents, Carly Watters and CeCe Lyra, from P.S. Literary Agency who read and critique query letters and opening pages in their regular Books with Hooks segment. Expect good advice, honest insights, and a few laughs along the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612672826e1b367f244e00b9/1629909634636-GIPSF2S0T1Y7Z3EDMY4X/Screen+Shot+2021-08-09+at+14.50.11.png Podcast & Media - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.carlywatters.com/wishlist daily 0.75 2021-08-25 https://www.carlywatters.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612672826e1b367f244e00b9/1a218b7b-97ad-4a67-91a1-d3d2ea430d60/predictions.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612672826e1b367f244e00b9/1629909642255-BMS1G4YIJ8XCZIIFBEO8/PSLA+Logo_Transparent+Background.png Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.carlywatters.com/about daily 1.0 2024-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612672826e1b367f244e00b9/e9d5c0f3-7183-4ce5-b9a9-3fff1bf8af68/Carly+Watters+Fall+2021-169.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.carlywatters.com/recent-sales daily 0.75 2025-10-07 https://www.carlywatters.com/endorsements daily 0.75 2023-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612672826e1b367f244e00b9/49107a7a-b74e-49d5-9beb-6205864a00b3/Carly+Watters+%26+Family-239.jpg Endorsements - Endorsements Thank you to my agent, Carly Watters.
