It's easy to find writing advice online. It's also easy to forget that not all of the advice is good advice. This is certainly true when any tips try to tell you that there is a right way to write. Literary agents Jessica Faust and James McGowan discuss their thoughts on the "right" writing process and how writers can debunk the myth of the best way to write.

Jessica Faust’s love for books is what first brought her to open BookEnds Literary Agency. It is her desire to be an advocate for all authors that pushed her to create her blog, the BookEnds YouTube channel and to maintain a vibrant presence on Twitter.
Jessica is proud to have grown BookEnds to an agency that represents authors of all genres for children and adults, allowing her to reach more readers and help more authors and illustrators achieve their dreams.

He represents a talented group of authors and illustrators working in everything from board books to middle grade graphic novels. He also works in adult nonfiction, and adult mystery and suspense projects. James is the author of GOOD NIGHT OPPY, which is available now.
