About this listen

My guest for this episode of "One Thing - Literary Edition" is Sandra Proudman, a literary associate at Galt & Zacker Literary Agency.

She shares the #1 mistake authors make in the query trenches: staying too long. "I see authors query the same project for 5 years... you need to be producing new work."

Key points include:

  • The 2-Year Rule: When it’s time to pivot.
  • Market Alignment: Why your next project might be the one that sticks.
  • Pro Stamina: Preparing for the "book-a-year" pace of the industryabout "Two-Year Rule" and how to build your writing stamina.

Her one big piece of advice is to keep writing and producing new work.
