Myths and Misconceptions by literary agent Holly Root, and editors Molly O'Neill and Martha Mihalick

Have you always wondered what agents and editors are REALLY thinking? Tune into this amazing Q&A session with literary agent Holly Root and editors Molly O’Neill and Martha Mihalick. Don't miss this fascinating inside look at publishing!

Please note: We've posted this discussion in two parts due to it's length, but believe me you'll want to watch the entire thing. Enjoy!

Loved all the questions. I felt like I just took another workshop from SCBWI (i know it was for writeoncon but just saying.) For a writer most agents/editors can seem scary and those women were so friendly and approachable. Thanks for sharing.

This was great. This was the first time I've seen (heard) the question about the follow up book under contract. Nice to know if I ever get to that point. :)
