Bringing over thirty years of experience from publishers such as Doubleday, the Random House imprint, and WaterBrook, Don pairs his passion for excellent stories and ideas with a mission to bring those voices to the readers who need them. Listen in as they discuss what makes a story stand the test of time, which stories have resonated most closely with Don, how stories can serve different purposes for us across our lifespan, and why we need to continue creating. You can find out more about Pape Commons at www. papecommons.comA Reading List of books Don mentioned: Whale Island, Mary Beth KeaneStone Angel, Margaret Lawrence What the Fireflines Knew, Kai HarrisThe Hobbit, C.S.

It was a delight to chat with Paul Black, my friend and Brand Partnerships Director at The Bright Agency last week. I hope you enjoy our insightful chat and tour back through some of his career highlights.You can subscribe to The Bright Agency Magazine here;and follow Pau's instagram here. Ai Overview Thanks ClaudeIn this episode of Sparkle on Substack, Claire is joined by her friend Paul Black, Brand Partnerships Director at The Bright Agency - a 360-degree creative agency representing authors, illustrators and artists across publishing, licensing, film, TV and beyond. Paul lifts the lid on what agents actually do for artists: from the Bologna Children's Book Fair to navigating the thorny world of AI in illustration, protecting original artwork archives, and why The Bright Agency launched its own Substack magazine. If you've ever wondered what happens to your artwork once it leaves your hands or what a licensing deal actually looks like this one is for you.Key QuotesOn what agents do for artists:“We find our job as agents to take what that person has and then just expand it — find those partners, find those creative people that will work with that artist.”On retaining rights:“We always try and retain the rights for licensing and for merchandising so that if something takes off from that book, we're able to do it.”On artist-first values:“We don't get paid unless the artist gets paid. That is our number one priority.”On AI and illustration:“Every time somebody tries to do it there is a backlash. Waterstones are not going to let an AI book on their shelves and every time it happens, people pick up on it, it's a backlash, they get it out.”On protecting artists from AI:“In our contracts we have a clause that says your artwork cannot be AI generated. That's a big part of our protection.”On the Bright Substack:“We're trying to open the curtain a little bit — shed a bit of light on what an agency and an agent can do for you.”On original artwork archives:“Shirley Hughes gifted the original manuscript dummies artwork for Dogger, five or six of the Alfie series, and Lucy and Tom — her first book published in the 50s — to the Bodleian Library.” This is a public episode.

We're speaking with Temple University assistant professor of English, Laura McGrath about literary agents and academics. McGrath's extensive knowledge about literary agents is the result of her research for her new book: Middlemen: Literary Agents and the Making of Contemporary American Literature, (Princeton University Press), and her own unexpected path to working with an agent. We talk about the crucial role of agent's love for a project and interest in an author's future works; the benefits of being a first-time author; the truth about author advances; why it's not a great time for nonfiction, and why that might change; what the “comparable works” section of your book proposal can do for you; misconceptions about agents; and why it's important to show that you will hustle for your own book.

Literary agent Juliet Mushens on what makes her offer representation, how she builds bestselling careers from debut to long-term success, and why writers need a life outside of publishing. We discuss Why tension is the single most important quality an agent looks for in any genre of fiction. How personalized feedback from an agent signals you're closer than you think. The editorial conversation that happens when an agent offers representation. What to consider when choosing between multiple agent offers, and why gut matters more than questionnaires. How some of today's biggest bestsellers had their first and second books rejected — and what changed. Why writing for the market rarely produces the best books, and how to hold the tension between passion and positioning. The publishing myths that refuse to die, from social media requirements to green book covers. How agents negotiate contracts and why an escape clause matters. The concept of inconvenience over convenience and what it means for writers in the age of AI. Why building a sense of esteem outside writing is essential to surviving the highs and lows of publishing. Resources & Links

What? The Literary Agent's Ten Percent is at the start this time? Get ready to suffer through that voice before we get to Sherlock & Co.'s Beryl Coronet surprises. 

Maybe you've thought about it. You love books, you love reading, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you've wondered if there's a way to turn that passion into a career that uses your legal skills without actually practicing law.Lilly Ghahremani knew on day one of law school that it wasn't the right fit. She called her mom from a pay phone and said she'd made a mistake. Her mom convinced her to finish the semester, then the year, then the whole degree. Lilly graduated from UCLA Law in 2002 and stumbled into a job with a small practitioner who worked in publishing. That random job listing became the foundation for a 20-plus year career as a literary agent.See show notes at formerlawyer.com/250

We're talking with Alia Hanna Habib of the Gernert literary agency about how academics can successfully find agents; what's the best way to write a cold-call query letter to agents; how an academic author can include her own intellectual history in the book proposal; avoiding the “voice from nowhere” style of writing; how much money is reasonable to expect as a first-time trade press author; and what to expect from an agent. We also discuss how book deals differ from their cinematic portrayals, and when an academic might consider trade press publication.

We spend so much of our writing time perfecting the beginnings of our stories that we might be neglecting the endings—and literary agents can tell. While it's vital to have a strong start to your manuscript to get an agent's attention, if you aren't able to carry that momentum through to the end, it can be the difference between getting representation and being told, "Thank you, but no." In this episode of Writer's Digest Presents, editor Michael Woodson chats with literary agent Allegra Martschenko about how we can perfect our endings to help us land that book deal.

Prophetic Gatekeepers guard the gates of God's truth! In a world saturated with endless information, discerning truth from falsehood is more critical than ever, especially within the prophetic realm. Let's take a deep dive into the vital role of a Prophetic Gatekeeper Manuscript Specialist – those who stand guard, protecting God's flock from harmful attacks and ensuring the purity of His message is NOT distorted by deceitful lies. Our mission is to help nonfiction authors, literary agents, and publishers prepare and release prophetic books that empower, equip, and encourage the body of Christ with God's truth without falsehood. In today's world, there's a growing trend of mixing New Age practices with Christianity, often for profit, but it deeply hurts God's flock! This can be incredibly damaging to believers; leading them astray, distorting their understanding of God's truth, and keeping them knitted with the enemy! Let's ensure that prophetic books and content accurately represent Jesus with integrity and purity, free from New Age influences, heresy, false religions, and fake healing practices.
