Tips for Publishing in 2021: Interview with Former Literary Agent Turned Editor, Amy Tipton
Many writers are grabbing at straws when it comes to book publishing. What is a book synopsis? How do I write a query letter? Do I really need my manuscript professionally edited? These are questions that writers may struggle with.
The industry can feel like an elite club that only lets in a chosen few good writers. For the writers who took their dreams into their own hands, self publishing has been the way to go. But if you’re planning to go the traditional route and you haven’t networked your way into a book deal, you’re going to need some pointers from those who have been on the inside. For this reason, I interviewed former literary agent turned editor, Amy Tipton a few weeks back.
Amy is the founder of Feral Girl Books. Amy offers various services for writers including query letters and manuscript editing. Want to get ahead in 2021 with book publishing? Check out the tips Amy gives to writers seeking publishing.
D: Amy, what is your background in publishing?
A: I graduated from Naropa University with a B.A. in Writing and Literature and received my MFA from New College of California in Writing. I have been working in the publishing industry for years and started freelance editing in 2018.
