Today I talk to my first agented author, Christopher Mannino! Chris is represented by Stephen Fraser of the Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency, and has two books on submission. In this episode we discuss:

*How getting lost in Cornwall and spending time at Oxford (filming location for the Harry Potter movies) inspired his first YA novel, THE SCYTHE WIELDER'S SECRET

*Writing in different age categories

*How your Dream Book can be hard to let go of, but why it's important to pivot when it isn't working

*Why contradictory feedback from agents can actually mean you're getting close!

*Juggling multiple projects at one time to stay inspired and motivated
