If your goal is to have your writing published, there will inevitably come a time when you start

searching for an agent. This is your champion, the person who will help you navigate the world

between the page and the publishing house. Part reader, part editor, part negotiator, and part

fan, a literary agent is a creative business partner who knows what the industry wants and how

to place you within it. And while this might sound like a job only found in the largest of cities,

today’s online world makes it possible for Maria Vicente to do this work from New Brunswick.

She’s a Senior Literary Agent and Senior Advisor at P.S. Literary Agency and Jenna’s guest on

this episode of WordCraft.
