This is the Beautiful Writers Podcast. I'm Danielle Lipport, and I'm here with Linda Sieverts,

where we are chatting with some of the most amazing authors, publishing leaders, and creatives.

Between the two of us, Linda and I have written something like 12 books, including our co-creation, your big beautiful book plan.

And we're here because we love this game.

We love everything about the publishing industry, about getting ideas out into the world and being as creative as you possibly can.

This all started with us interviewing some of our favorite agents and fellow authors

for a membership group that we have called The Beautiful Writers Group.

And because we don't believe friends should let their friends write alone,

we are sharing the interviews with you.

So for the next 45 minutes, because 45 minutes is a new hour, we will be digging deep and going for the light. Thank you. So for the next 45 minutes, because 45 minutes is a new hour, we will be digging deep

Hello, welcome. This is an interview with the beautiful writers group. We are speaking today

with a lovely literary agent,

Laura York. That's York with an E at the end, Y-O-R-K-E. It's myself, Danielle Lippert, and Linda

Sieverson, off the top. We want to let you know where you can find Laura. She's at the Carol Mann

Agency. So that's Carol with a C, C-A-R-O-L-M-N-N-N-A-N-A-N-A-N-A-N-A-Gency.com. And you know where to find Linda and I. We're at the beautiful writers group.com. I'm at Danielle Laporte.com. Linda is always rocking it at bookmama.com. And if you've been around with us for a while, you know that we always start everything, everything with a blessing.

So we're here now to give witness to a shared truth that absolutely everything is progress,

that we have all that we need, and that brilliance is unfolding here and now.

And so it is.

Linda, hello, Laura, hello.
