In this episode, Julie and Jessica tell you about the (FREE! Awesome!) Manuscript Academy holiday party coming up December 13. Need props? Yes! Maybe. For best results, listen to this podcast first.

In this episode, Jessica and Julie how tell you how best to spend ten minutes with an agent--whether in a pitch session, an office hour, a craft meeting, or stuck in an elevator.

We talk with Lane about photographing supermoons, what he'd do as Super Lane, and being a guy who sells romance. But not bromance. We also talk about what agents fear during pitch sessions, killing characters in picture books, and why being a veterinarian might not be the best back-up career for someone in publishing.

Join us for a chat with literary agent Linda Camacho (Prospect Agency) to talk about marketing, agents getting rejected, and the horror films you should definitely be watching. Even if you're scared. Like Jessica.

Join us for a conversation with Perigee/Penguin editor Amanda Shih. We'll discuss rejection, boxing, platform--and how to have your very own art heist.

Julie and Jessica talk about filming day, jackhammers, dogs, cats, and how filming in homes makes for a more interactive experience.

Meet Julie, Jessica, and a crazy little project called The Manuscript Academy. Hint: It all started with a bus.
