PubTalk Live & AgentChat Live: Recent Episodes
Sarah Nicolas
PubTalk Live is the live publishing talk show that broadcasts the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month live on YouTube. The podcast is the audio pulled from the show after the broadcast has ended. See more info at pubtalk.live. AgentChat Live is a spinoff of PubTalk Live that features casual chats with literary agents with the intention of helping writers get to know the agents a little bit better.
Every now and then, I host a live #askagent session on YouTube and syndicate the audio here as a podcast! This is the recording of the Agent Office Hours on 3/25/22

For our final regular PubTalk Live, I have a special treat. Three literary agents will be answering all of your questions about book publishing contracts. Whether you're looking to publish in the future, with or without an agent, or are already in the publishing world, we'll help you understand the contracts you're signing.
