  • Episode 68: The Agent’s Perspective with literary agent Alia Hanna Habib

    Episode 68: The Agent’s Perspective with literary agent Alia Hanna Habib
    Jan 26 2026

    We’re talking with Alia Hanna Habib of the Gernert literary agency about how academics can successfully find agents; what’s the best way to write a cold-call query letter to agents; how an academic author can include her own intellectual history in the book proposal; avoiding the “voice from nowhere” style of writing; how much money is reasonable to expect as a first-time trade press author; and what to expect from an agent. We also discuss how book deals differ from their cinematic portrayals, and when an academic might consider trade press publication.
