Brilliant post, Eva! As a former freelance journalist, a lot of this advice rings true for pitching to newspapers and magazines too - generic pitch emails NEVER work! Congrats on making such a success of your podcast :)
Thank you, Caroline!! BTW, your Substack presence is incredible, your publishing journey is inspiring, and even though I haven't reached out to you yet, you are DEFINITELY on my radar as a potential Long Road guest!!
Wow, Eva, that feedback is so wonderful to hear! I'd be honoured, you can count me in... after almost two decades of writing and rejection until I got a book deal, and five literary agents, I have some stories to tell ;)
I had no idea you and Lish were MFA buddies! I know her from the Seattle writing community. Such a small world!!
It IS such a small world!! And Lish is the best!
She really is!!
Super post, Eva! Thank you for all the great information in here! ❤️
Thank you!!

This is generous and helpful advice
The parallels between you and a literary agent are strong!
