featuring...drum roll please...
agent extraordinaire Stephen Barbara of Foundry Literary + Media as well as author and client the lovely Leila Sales
Stephen Barbara represents everything from Young Adult fiction to picture books as well as adult fiction and nonfiction with a young, hip feel, and crossover potential. His clients include (Leila Sales, of course), Lynne Jonell, Lauren Oliver, Laura Amy Schlitz, Todd Strasser, and Tom Venuto. Before Foundry, Stephen worked previous stints at HarperCollins and the Donald Maass Agency.
Leila Sales' debut novel MOSTLY GOOD GIRLS released on October 5th. She grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts, and graduated from the University of Chicago. Now she lives in Brooklyn, New York and spends her time thinking about sleeping, kittens, dance parties, and stories that she wants to write. She also works in publishing, so we've got a two-for deal on our hands.
The topic for discussion will be the Agent-Author relationship, so start brainstorming questions now! We'll see you on the 15th!

Thanks for the heads-up, ladies. I have class on Monday nights, but will try to make it.
This has got to stop.
Oooh, I love two of the authors he represents. And I definitely want to hear about that topic. :D
How exciting! Thanks for letting us know!
Ooh! I love that topic. Thanks LiLa!
Ooh, this sounds great! And he's at the same agency as my agent (and they're good friends) so I should definitely tune in to this one!
Loved Leila's book. Can't wait to hear this interview! Thanks, LiLa & WriteOnCon!
Woo-hoo! I hope I can make this one and not have to live vicariously through the transcript! :-)
Woot! This looks awesome!
This is great, I can't wait!!!!
OMG, what should I wear? The usual boxers or go all out with...sweatpants?
I hate the hard decisions.
Awesome! Can't wait, I marked it on my calendar.
Sounds awesome! Thanks for the tip :)
Fabulous topic! I'm looking forward to this chat!
Thanks, ladies!
Awesome! I won't miss it. Thanks for the heads up, ladies.
