Episode 29: Interview With Devra Jacobs Of Dancing Word Group - a podcast by Hybrid Pub Scout Podcast

On this episode, we talk to agenting powerhouse Devra Jacobs, who’s worn more hats than we can count over the course of her career. After selling mind/body/spirit magazine Mystic Pop, she decided to switch gears entirely to being a literary agent, much to the benefit of her lucky clients. We chat about the quickest ways to get your manuscript rejected, red flags to watch out for when choosing an agent, Devra’s painstaking work steering self-published authors away from predators who want to rip them off, and the importance of admitting to yourself that you maybe DON’T have a book in you—maybe you have an article, or you just need to write for yourself—and how that’s perfectly fine. Also, Emily does a pitch perfect Carol Channing impression, while Corinne’s Mrs. Doubtfire could use some work, but in her defense, she had very little time to warm up.
