In this episode of Writer Unblocked, I sit down with literary agent and soon-to-be certified financial coach Linda Camacho. With 20 years in the publishing industry, Linda offers unfiltered insights into what makes a manuscript stand out, how rights work, and what really happens behind the scenes when your book is on submission. We also talk about the rise of self-publishing, the emotional toll of rejection, and why understanding money as a creative is essential. If you're serious about building a writing career—this is a must-listen.

Highlights:

-What “dying on submission” really means

-How to protect your audio, foreign, and other rights

-The emotional rollercoaster of getting an agent (and not getting one)

-Why your first book might not be “the one”—and why that’s OK

-How Linda is helping authors get financially literate

-Self-publishing as a powerful career path—not a consolation prize
