Okay, to be fair, the podcast is mostly Mary Jo Pehl and Tobias Buckell Interviews, but the first 10 minutes is Mur talking about the #queryfail Literary Agent meme that swept through Twitter last week. The short version? Suck it up authors; act professional, this is a business. Good stuff.
Also, listen to the ad right after her rant — it’s some kind of crazy podcast/interactive/website deal coming out in promotion for a new book and it sounds pretty damned awesome. More authors should be doing this – more authors will be.
Thanks for the comments on the podcast!
Also, the ad is for JC Hutchins’ Personal Effects: Dark Art, and you can find it here: http://jchutchins.net/site/the-brink/ (I can’t wait for this book)
