Join me for an illuminating conversation with literary agent and doctoral researcher Erin Niumata about the past, present, and future of women's fiction as a genre. 

With nearly 20 years at Folio Literary Management and ongoing PhD research into women's publishing history, Erin shares her unique perspective on how the genre has evolved over time to today's market challenges. She discusses the fluid nature of women's fiction, the rise of cross-genre storytelling, and how her academic research has influenced her approach to working with authors. 

Erin also offers practical advice for writers on positioning their work, the importance of perseverance, and why authors should write for themselves first. Tune in to hear more!
