To get a book deal with a publishing house, you need to have a literary agent. But how do you find a literary agent? Where do you begin, and what should you look for? Is any agent better than no agent — and any deal a foot in the door of the publishing industry?

In Part 2 of this 3-part behind-the-scenes book publishing series, we're diving into the nitty-gritty of the agent-finding process, the agent-partnering process, and ultimately securing a book deal with a publisher.

We'll talk EXACT details on how to get started, how Katie (hi!) ultimately found her agent, and the plot twist that ended up leading to the book deal that was always meant to be.

(And, don't be fooled: this episode is really just a big life lesson in disguise :))
