The StoryMen talk about how the traditional publishing world works, and how to get published. Matt and Clay share their journeys to published authordom (authorship? authorness? authornity?), we talk how to find a literary agent and why the publisher really is on your side.
Plus, if you’re not trying to get published, there’s a full 10 minutes of fun at the beginning that has nothing to do with books (with the exception of one O. Henry short story that you really should’ve read by now.)
