Bound & Determined

139. Get Signed with Literary Agent Lucinda Halpern


Listen Later

When it comes to publishing, I like to explain the process as a little bit of science and a little bit of magic.

We can do ALL THE THINGS, and follow all the “rules”, and still have to hand that work over to someone to assess, to review, and to judge. The work is the science, but it’s the relationships that are the magic. 

I’m a big believer in alignment. When I work with my clients, I tell them that their book proposal is the biggest piece of self-advocacy they have, which will allow them to find the right-aligned partner in an agent and a publisher.

And one of the ways I help people find that alignment is by introducing them to the best people in the biz! This week on Bound + Determined, I’m sitting down with literary agent and author, Lucinda Halpern.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes to discuss what she loves about the job, her unique views on authorship, and how to land the agent of your dreams.
