My guest in this episode is Amy Collins who has been in the book industry since 1991. She has been a book buyer for a chain of bookstores in NY, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. She gained extensive experience as a book marketer, and now she is a literary agent with Talcott Notch. 

She is also a USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author. We have a great conversation about fiction for young adults, sci-fi, fantasy, and historical novels. I asked what she looks for in a book she decides to take on and pitch to publishers, and she provides great advice to writers who want to pursue the traditional publishing route with the assistance of a literary agent. Have a listen!
