After selling mind/body/spirit magazine Mystic Pop, she decided to switch gears entirely to being a literary agent, much to the benefit of her lucky clients. We chat about the quickest ways to get your manuscript rejected, red flags to watch out for when choosing an agent, Devra\u2019s painstaking work steering self-published authors away from predators who want to rip them off, and the importance of admitting to yourself that you maybe DON\u2019T have a book in you\u2014maybe you have an article, or you just need to write for yourself\u2014and how that\u2019s perfectly fine. Also, Emily does a pitch perfect Carol Channing impression, while Corinne\u2019s Mrs. Doubtfire could use some work, but in her defense, she had very little time to warm up. \n\nPlease rate and review us on whatever podcast platform you happen to use.
