“I listened to every episode of his podcast, and the three hosts provide invaluable insight into writing a query letter. Although, at times, the two agents on the show, Carly Watters and Cece Lyra, can be contradictory in their advice from episode to episode. Today, they may say x is OK, and in two weeks, say don’t do x, which can be confusing. It also feels that they expect the authors to present the entire story in the first five pages, yet say not to divulge too much.
The primary host, Biana Marais, an author, acts as a moderator, and her input from the author’s perspective is often needed. I wish she invested in a good mic, though, as the sound quality is horrendous. She sounds like the bad child, locked in the basement closet, talking through the closed door. She non the less is by far the best interviewer I have come across. Her line if questions is refreshing.”
