Paul couldn't make it for this wonderful episode 36, but fear not gentle listeners, for JF is not left alone to have conversations with plush toys this time. Instead, he's kept in line by guest Sam Morgan from the JABerwocky literary agency.

Sam explains the job, purpose, care and feeding of a literary agent and gives us a great primer of what to expect from an agent, how best to approach one without spooking it away and some best practices for agent hunting.

Check out some of the books from authors represented by Sam.

• Dusk fall by Christopher Husberg
• Steal the Sky by Megan E. O'Keefe
• Mechanical Failure by Joe Zieja
