Picture
The Shit No One Tells You About Writing
is a podcast for emerging writers, who are looking to improve their work
with an aim to having it published,
or for anyone who would like a behind-the-scenes look at the publishing industry.

Bianca Marais, bestselling author and award-winning creative writing instructor,
interviews authors, agents, editors
and just about anyone and everyone
who's involved in bringing a book to market.


She's joined by her cohosts,
​literary agents Carly Watters and CeCe Lyra from P.S. Literary Agency,
who read and critique listeners'
query letters ​and opening pages,
and who also answer your burning questions
in their Q&A segment.

Guest interviewers join the show occasionally
and independent booksellers and Bookstagrammers
also chime in to help you find the perfect comp titles.

​Expect good advice, honest insights, and a few laughs along the way.

Please note:
Carly Watters and CeCe Lyra are literary agents at P.S. Literary Agency, but their work on this podcast is not affiliated with the agency,
and the views expressed by Carly and CeCe on this podcast are solely that of them as podcast co-hosts
