iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Every writer brings a perspective, experience, and imagination that no one else can replicate. ✍️ Don't worry about writing what you think you're supposed to write. Start by asking: What story am I uniquely positioned to tell? Your voice is part of what makes your story yours. #WritingTips #LAOC

Every book has a story behind the story. Publishing is a community of people—and who gets access to those roles helps shape which stories make it into the world. That's why we're working to create more equitable pathways into literary agenting. 📚 #LiteraryAgentsOfChange #Publishing

We often talk about the importance of seeing ourselves represented on the page. But representation behind the scenes matters, too. Literary agents play an important role in determining which stories are championed, which authors receive advocacy, and which voices enter the publishing pipeline.

A grant can be more than financial support—it can create the space to keep growing. For our mentees, this funding helps ease financial pressure and gives them greater freedom to invest in their careers and pursue new opportunities. This is what access looks like. 💛

A satisfying ending isn't simply the moment when the plot stops. It's the moment when the reader understands what the journey has meant. As you're drafting, ask yourself: What emotional question am I setting up at the beginning—and how will the ending answer it?

Ever wondered what a literary agent actually does? 📚 Literary agents are so much more than the person who sends a manuscript to a publisher. They discover talent, champion authors, navigate the publishing industry, negotiate deals, and help build careers.

Behind every mentorship is a person learning, growing, asking questions, building confidence, and finding their place in the industry. We're proud to create space for emerging publishing professionals to learn from those who have come before them. Because access to knowledge can change a career.

🚨 MYTH BUSTED 🚨: You DO NOT need to live in NYC to be an agent. The industry is global, deals are closed on Zoom, and talent is everywhere. What you actually need: drive, a great eye, and good Wi-Fi. 💻🤝 Where are you building your career from? 🌎👇 #CareerMyths #AgentLife #LAOC

A mentor text is used as guidance for new work. E.g., the mentor text demonstrates use of a new technique, or a genre you're trying to enter - you could use a few mentor rhyming texts as you try rhyme or nonfiction as you write a proposal. #literaryagentsofchange #amwriting #amagenting #publishing

A little midweek motivation! Publishing is hard. It's no small feat to write, sell, edit, or market a book! So it's not surprising that creatives in this industry can burn out quickly. Remember to be gentle & have grace. It's a marathon, not a sprint! #publishing #writingcommunity #books
