We have a great episode, talking about creating this book, writing this book and living this book—because Kate McKean is not only a very experienced agent, she has also lived the answer to all those questions and that’s part of what makes it special.  Follow:  Kate McKean Agents and Books Also find her at agentsandbooks.com  And buy this book!
