Page Break Podcast Episode 27: Caitlin Blasdell
The twenty-seventh episode of my new podcast Page Break is now out! In this episode, my guest is literary agent Caitlin Blasdell.
Caitlin began her career editing for Harvard Business School and Harper Collins before making the transition to her current job as a literary agent for Liza Dawson Associates where she has helped nurture and sell such clients as Charles Stross, Rebecca Zanetti, Zen Cho, and numerous others that include me!
I chat with Caitlin about our professional relationship, the ups and downs of the publishing market, an agent’s role where business and creativity meet, and the way our industry has changed over the last decade. Caitlin was also kind enough to answer some of the more standard agent questions, such as what she’s looking for and what kills a query letter.
Page Break with Brian McClellan is a collection of casual conversations between me and fellow creative professionals—like two friends sitting down over lunch to discuss career, craft, family, and hobbies.
Authorhood is a quiet sort of minor fame where the person behind the words is often obscured by the works they’ve created. I aim to use this podcast to find out more about my friends and colleagues.
Look forward to weekly conversations with creators like TV writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi, epic fantasy author Robin Hobb, science fiction author Pierce Brown, Twitch streamer Mark Hulmes, and many more!
