Spicy opinion Sunday: Please name the protagonists in your book. Unless you have an excellent reason for leaving them unnamed that is essential to the plot of the book, leaving them nameless is one of my top pet peeves.

Welcome to my newest client, Maggie! 🎉 Her nonfiction book is an exploration of how modern society fails to support mothers, and how we can reconstruct the systems, policies, and cultural narratives that have left mothers without the support they desperately need.

We've gotten a few of these lately, so a reminder: please don't start querying your book before it's done!

It's official: in January, ArtHouse received 2403 queries. If these numbers keep up, we could hit... over 28,000 this year (it can't possibly keep up right????) 😱

In our next episode, we talk all about ✨ the call ✨ from the agent's perspective. The episode drops Feb 5th—we can't wait for you to hear it!

I'm just putting out there that if you notify agents you have an offer and give us a deadline, please don't burn bridges by cutting that time off early. Agents work hard to read and respond quickly. You're cutting off potential relationships and wasting agents' time.
