This week Rachel and Lynne chat with literary agent Lou Johnson, who has just launched her own agency, Key People Literary Management with agent, publisher, and author Jeanne Ryckmans. With more than 20 years in publishing, Lou shares her knowledge on all things book-related. In our discussion, she chats about:

• How publishing has changed over the years
• What agents do
• How to find one
• How to get a publishing deal
• How to market your book
• And whether you can really make money as a novelist in Australia

Key People Literary Management is still setting up a website, but you can connect with Lou here: https://www.loujohnson.com.au/
