Chapter 3: Interview with Amy Brewer
Amy Brewer wears many hats every day, from literary agent at Metamorphosis Literary Agency, to co-author of the Texting Prince Charming series, to social media manager, to yoga teacher. She graduated from Culver-Stockton College with a theater degree because drama, romance, and angst are lifelong passions. Her intuitive human understanding can help other writers bridge the communication gap and jump into the publishing world. Amy's experience in the mental health field and yoga training help her guide and assist clients with stress and anxiety in this highly competitive industry.

In this interview, you will learn:

2) why you should follow your passions;
3) how to reduce the stressful parts of writing;
4) what an agent can do for you;
5) what agents are looking for; and
