Steven Malk (Ep. 157)

Steven Malk (@StevenMalk), literary agent at Writers House, stops by to talk about the way every single decision an author makes has a large or small impact on a career, how his clients all believe making a picture book is the best thing in the world, and the reverential feeling he experienced meeting authors at his parent's bookstore when he was young.
