Literary Agents Thoughts on How Hard it is to Get Published
In today's video, literary agents Jessica Faust and James McGowan respond to a question from TikTok about whether it is harder to get published now than ever before. BookEnds is dedicated to making traditional book publishing a more transparent process, and it starts with these videos! ✿✿✿ Jessica Faust’s love for books is what first brought her to open BookEnds Literary Agency. It is her desire to be an advocate for all authors that pushed her to create her blog, the BookEnds YouTube channel and to maintain a vibrant presence on Twitter. Jessica is proud to have grown BookEnds into an agency that represents authors of all genres for children and adults, allowing her to reach more readers and help more authors and illustrators achieve their dreams. ✿✿✿ James McGowan is a Literary Agent at BookEnds and writer for children. He began working with the agency as an intern in the summer of 2015, and basically never left. He represents a talented group of authors and illustrators working in everything from board books to middle grade graphic novels.
