This is a special conversation about all things “writing a book” -- what does that process look like? How do you get a book out into the world? Where do you begin with negotiations and promotion and all of the things? Time to call in the expert – Margaret Riley King.
Margaret is a partner and literary agent in WME’s global book division representing a roster of bestselling and award-winning authors in all areas of fiction and nonfiction. During her 13 years at WME, she has built a specialty area in the representation of influential women’s voices and has grown this into a literary powerhouse. She is also my book agent and I feel so lucky to say that!
