Eee! Podcast! I don't listen to/read/witness spoilery things for things I haven't encountered yet, but I'm so happy you're doing it! It looks awesome!
Y'all saw a terrible stand-up set recently? Care to share?
As someone who rejects people's work at my regular gig as an agent's assistant (which I'm actually leaving on Friday!), Stiefvater is completely right. I just finished Cheryl Strayed's Tiny Beautiful Things, where she counsels someone who feels entitled to a book deal to remember that the book is one thing; the deal is quite another. I've rejected works that I would have loved to seen grow to fruition, but I would have been the only one. That does not a book deal make.
