Her passion to develop female writers through the collaborative process shines through as well as her desire to create a life in the literary world that she actually enjoys. She starts us out by sharing her story of suffering a stroke at age 30 just as she was starting her career as an agent in the literary world.  It impacted her speech and her ability to walk but she shares how it did not distract her from carving out her own place in the industry. 12 years have passed since the stroke and it still affects her speech and her ability to walk.  But, it is amazing to see the career that she has built and how she continues to look forward to the future on who else she can help in their career.

037 Amy Tipton (New York Times Best Selling Agent, Owner Feral Girl Books)

Editor and former literary agent Amy Tipton and I discuss her career in publishing and her approach to editing. We chat about her time representing Courtney Summers, Amy Reed, and many other famous YA authors and I thank her for a crucial note she gave me when I was revising Banneker Bones and the Giant Robot Bees. She shares her philosophy of revision, the new services she's offering through Feral Girl Books, the most common mistakes writers make, and much, much more.In her own words:I graduated from Naropa University with a B.A. in Writing and Literature and received my MFA from New College of California in Writing. I have been working in the publishing industry for 13 years and started freelance editing in 2018. Prior to that, I was a literary agent at Signature Literary Agency since 2009. (I first stepped into the role of literary agent at Peter Rubie Literary Agency, now FinePrint Literary Management, in 2007.) I started out as an assistant and office manager at several agencies including JCA Literary Agency, Diana Finch Literary Agency, Gina Maccoby Literary Agency, and Liza Dawson Associates, as a book scout for Aram Fox, Inc., and as a freelance editor for Lauren Weisberger (author of The Devil Wears Prada). My years of experience culling books from the slush pile give me confidence I can help you too!(Not just a service for those looking for an agent … Maybe you already have an agent but they are less editorial-minded and you are going on sub or got an RR from an editor … Maybe you’re self-publishing … Whatever the situation, consider me your professional CP! )www.middlegradeninja.com amy-tipton.com--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/middle-grade-ninja/support
