A literary agent and her friends dish about writing and publishing books for children and young adults.

45: Heroes, Villains, Sidekicks and Kryptonite with guest author Lamar Giles

Today we’re talking pop culture! If you insert specific pop culture references in your work, how do you walk the line between seeming current now, and possibly making your book seem dated a couple years from now… and how DOES a grownup stay current, anyway? How can 1980’s TV inform the way you structure your book, and what can superhero stories teach us about crafting a short pitch? All this and more with my special guest, MG and YA novel writing superstar Lamar Giles!
