Yasmeen Owens asked Brittney Morris:

Will there be a second book to Slay? I have a question for an aspiring author what is one thing to keep in mind when trying to find a literary agent that you hope will represent you as an author of color in the publishing world?

Brittney Morris Hi, Yasmeen! My apologies for the severe delay in answering my GR questions. I hope your journey to finding an agent has been fruitful! My number one thing to keep in mind when agent hunting is to look for an agent who will protect you, your work, your brand, and your creative process as you navigate the waters of publishing. When you receive an offer of representation, I highly recommend asking direct, difficult questions of your agent. Hypotheticals, even. Anything that will help you prepare for the worst case scenario. Hope that helps!
