Women’s Fiction Author: What Not to Write (And What Helped Her Get an Agent)

Katie Bishop is the acclaimed author of Girls of Summer, a novel that has garnered widespread praise for its compelling storytelling and incisive exploration of complex themes. Beyond her work as a novelist, Katie is a renowned journalist whose writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Independent, BBC, VOGUE, Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Stylist, Business Insider, and many more.

Her work offers sharp, thought-provoking commentary that resonates with readers worldwide. With a talent for both fiction and nonfiction, Katie’s writing is bold, insightful, and deeply engaging, cementing her reputation as a powerful voice in contemporary literature and journalism.

In the chat that I’ll be sharing with you today, Katie highlights some red flags when deciding on a potential lit agent, she peels back the curtain of how long it actually takes to get a book published and she shares a golden nugget of wisdom with regards to writing things that are topical and zeiguisty. My personal highlight of the interview is when she shared personal examples of how she related to parts of her debut novel The Girls of Summer.
