Ben Grange from L. Perkins agency joins the Caitlin, Cameron, and Aliah to discuss some things that authors ought to research and think about before they begin querying agents, including awareness of genre, researching agents, word count, titles, and submission guidelines.

This episode is pretty heavy on the agent-businessy side of things. Don't feel like you have to bend over backwards and cut your work to shreds just to meet publishing norms--agents and editors don't want projects that are exactly like everything has come before. These are just some things to think about that will give you the best chance you have to get agent attention.
