On this episode of The Story Blender Podcast, I sit down with legendary literary agent Donald Maass during my time at ThrillerFest in New York City. With more than 40 years in the publishing industry, Donald shares invaluable insights on storytelling, publishing, and what truly makes fiction resonate with readers.
We discuss writing immersive point of view, creating emotional connections that stay with readers long after the final page, the changing landscape of publishing, and practical wisdom for storytellers at every level. Whether you’re pursuing traditional publishing or simply striving to tell better stories, this conversation is packed with inspiration and hard-earned advice from one of the industry’s most respected voices.
