Welcome to the WANTcast: The Women Against Talk Podcast -lessons in moving forward fearlessly, and spreading the (good) word. In each episode, writer, speaker, coach and WANT founder Katie Horwitch unpacks tips, tools, motivation and inspiration to help you shift your self-talk: the internal narrative you have on loop 24/7 that tells you who you are and who you should be. You can't change the world until you change YOUR world, first - and shifting your self-talk is where it all begins. Dive into topics such as confidence, fear, trust, body image, self-doubt, self-worth, relationships, career, friendships, social issues, and more. Walk away from each episode with hyper-actionable steps to shift your self-talk from reactive to proactive, as well as inspiration to keep going when the going gets tough. The goal isn't to change who you are - it's to BECOME who you know you're meant to be. Get the show notes + more at womenagainstnegativetalk.com

163: How The Heck To Find A Literary Agent (and get a book deal!)
To get a book deal with a publishing house, you need to have a literary agent. But how do you find a literary agent? Where do you begin, and what should you look for? Is any agent better than no agent — and any deal a foot in the door of the publishing industry?
In Part 2 of this 3-part behind-the-scenes book publishing series, we're diving into the nitty-gritty of the agent-finding process, the agent-partnering process, and ultimately securing a book deal with a publisher.
We'll talk EXACT details on how to get started, how Katie (hi!) ultimately found her agent, and the plot twist that ended up leading to the book deal that was always meant to be.
(And, don't be fooled: this episode is really just a big life lesson in disguise :))
