ABOUT THE CRAFT TALK
Most books published by New York houses get sold by literary agents—experts in the publishing industry who represent the interests of their author-clients. But the process of drafting a query letter, finding an agent, getting published, and promoting a book is shrouded in mystery. In Get the Agent & the Book Deal, Kima Jones brings BIPOC storytellers together for one primary purpose: to get into the nitty-gritty about the industry and to answer all the questions about getting a book deal you’ve been itching to ask.
