When you walk into a bookstore and see the thousands of books lining the shelves, not to mention the millions of books available online, it probably feels like there is an infinite number of big names, and movers and shakers behind it all. Once you get into this world, though—especially if you get into traditional publishing circles—you’ll discover that there is a much smaller group of people with incredible connections, vast experience, and tons of respect they’ve earned from others. Many of those people are literary agents. I’m excited to bring you this conversation with one such mover and shaker—Mary DeMuth. Mary is a literary agent with Books and Such Literary Management. In addition, she's an international speaker, podcaster, and a novelist and nonfiction author of over 40 books, including: WE TOO: How the Church Can Respond Redemptively to the Sexual Abuse Crisis. Mary loves to help people re-story their lives. She lives in Texas with her husband of almost 30 years and is the mom to three adult children.

To find out more about her work as a literary agent, visit her site at marydemuthliterary.com. In this conversation, Mary and I talked about her work as a literary agent, her views on the practice of ghostwriting, her daily podcast, traditional versus indie publishing, and much more! 📚 Download your FREE Daily Writer Starter Kit at https://dailywriterlife.com/free ✉️ Want writing tips and inspiration delivered to your inbox daily?

After two years of leading the Daily Writer Club, as well as having thousands of conversations with authors in recent years, I can tell you with 100% certainty that one of the biggest pain points for writers is book marketing. We love to create. We love to talk to other writers. We might even enjoy the publishing process. But the vast majority of writers struggle with marketing their books. That’s why I’m excited to bring you this conversation about book marketing, specifically for introverted writers who have anxiety around this topic. Becky Bayne is an international book designer, a published illustrator, and a seasoned entrepreneur. She loves brainstorming with her clients about the options available for their book, offering a less stressful design and self-publishing experience. She specializes in designing books for authors of nonfiction, business, leadership, and inspiration. In this conversation, Becky and I talk about the reasons book marketing stresses out introverts and what kinds of marketing can work well for introverted authors. Becky has also very kindly put together an amazing page of resources on book marketing for introverts. You can grab it here. 📚 Download your FREE Daily Writer Starter Kit at https://dailywriterlife.com/free ✉️ Want writing tips and inspiration delivered to your inbox daily?
