Our special series of episodes chatting with leading figures in the publishing industry to find out how to get your book published continues this week with the amazing Eric Smith. Eric is a Young Adult author and literary agent with P.S. Literary living in Philadelphia. As an agent represents brilliant authors such as Alison Stine and Mike Chen. On the writing front, his latest book, Jagged Little Pill: The Novel, a collaboration with Alanis Morissette, Academy award-winner Diablo Cody, and Glen Ballard, is an adaptation of the Grammy and Tony award winning musical.

We loved chatting with Eric and hearing about what looks for in queries (both for fiction and non-fiction), discussing the importance (or not) of comp titles, finding out how he works with his authors and get other hints and tips for those of you who are querying now or are about to! We also chat about his own writing and hear how he came to write the novelisation of Jagged Little Pill with Alanis Morissette and Diablo Cody.
