Literary podcasts I recommend… part one, because there are so many good ones! 🩷

TSNOTYAW - I wish I started listening to this long before querying! The Books with Hooks episodes are my personal favorites. A must for any writer!

Prose Pros - Their author interviews are always so insightful. They also share their own insights on the publishing world.

Flublishing - Two literary agents get candid about the industry. I couldn’t listen to the episode about the elusive “maybe pile” fast enough!

Your Big Creative Life - I discovered Katie first on TikTok where she also gives tips on writing while sharing advice. I highly recommend her editing services, too!

What podcasts have helped with your writing or querying journey?

Had such a great time talking about the publication process (soup to nuts!) with @proseprospod, @talishammas & @laurenjpkhan, two agents who know all about it! Also totally forgot I shared some fun news 🍾 and teased some news I can’t actually share yet… 🤫

She's a literary agent building her client list AND actively querying her own debut novel 👀 Lauren Khan from Fine Print Literary joins the pod to talk about what it's actually like to sit on both sides of the desk — from accumulating 15 full manuscript requests to knowing when to walk away from your first agent. If you're in the query trenches (or preparing to be), this one's going to hit. New episode out now 🎧

Ahhh I had so much fun recording today with @talishammas and @laurenjpkhan as a guest on @proseprospod (stay tuned for an episode air date)!!

At the beginning of this year, I made a writerly bingo card of exciting things I hoped would happen (some likely others a stretch) and today I got to cross off a really fun one.

These are the moments that, even a year ago, I wouldn’t have believed. I’m so grateful for all these little moments — all the ways my writerly dreams are coming true 🥹💖📚

Turns out putting two writing podcasts in one conversation is a great idea. New episode with @proseprospod coming out on Tuesday. 🎙️

It’s not too late to preorder one of my favorite reads of 2025: LITTLE ONE by @oliviamuenter 🕸️

LITTLE ONE comes out 2/3 but you can listen to Olivia on @proseprospod right now: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-prose-pros/id1835741861?i=1000744992040

A searing novel from the USA Today bestselling author of Such a Bad Influence, LITTLE ONE follows a young woman whose life is upended when a journalist uncovers her mysterious and hidden upbringing. From the outside, Catharine West’s childhood sounds idyllic—balmy days spent running barefoot through the gardens, plucking ripe tomatoes straight from the vine as sunlight warmed her skin. Her parents built a life that was simple and community-focused, an ethos that soon attracted others in need of a change. For a time, Catharine’s magnetic father was enough to keep the farm thriving and temptation outside its gates. But as she grew older, the farm and family she was raised to love faded into something darker, forcing Catharine to evolve with it.

It’s now been a decade since Catharine abandoned the farm, and she has done her best to reinvent her life, until an email from a charismatic journalist interrupts her peace. Her first instinct is to ignore the stranger’s prying questions—whether she knew about a mysterious “cult” in central Florida, whether she is the same “Catharine-with-an-A” who lived there for a time. But when she realizes the journalist knows far more than he’s letting on, she reconsiders. If Catharine can stay one step ahead of him, she may be able to find the one person she never wanted to leave behind—her sister, Linna—and make sure her own secrets remain buried too.

Sharp-eyed and sweltering, Little One masterfully captures the dread of facing your deepest desires, when the hunger to become your best self threatens to drown out everything else. An achingly astute look at modern womanhood and wellness culture, it tackles the enduring question: How far would you go to be good?

TRAD PUBLISHING PODCASTS 🎧🤍🎙️📓
Pods are truly my favorite way to learn about the traditional publishing industry. On a walk with my baby or on a long drive (to help said baby nap), it’s so nice to use this passive time to learn about how to improve on my publishing journey. These are my favs I’ve listened to in the last three years!

I’d love to do a Part 2, so comment with your favorites below so I can add them to my queue!
