Description

Literary Lens is a podcast for established authors, industry professionals, and aspiring writers to gain insights, inspiration, and practical advice in all aspects of the publishing industry where literary agents from The Tobias Literary Agency explore the fascinating intersections of literature, publishing, film, and television meet. 


What does that mean?


Whether you're an avid reader, a budding writer, or simply passionate about storytelling, Literary Lens is your go-to source for engaging discussions, interviews, and behind-the-scenes insights into the publishing business.


Our hosts include president of the agency Lane Heymont, Director of Adult Department Jacqui Lipton, and literary agents Ann Rose and Kelly Dyksterhouse with occasional pop-ins from our various other agents.


Our shows include:


The Murky Middle: a roundtable discussion about the things publishing professionals wish we didn't. What happens after you secure an agent, how to build your writing career, things you need to keep an eye out for, and more!


Quelling Your Query Conundrums with Ann Rose: Dread no more and tame the query beast during the Quelling Your Query Conundrums session with Ann Rose.
