About How to Glow in the Dark
How to Glow in the Dark is for anyone and everyone interested in surviving a book publishing career, ideally with some success. There’s something in here for all kinds of authors—aspiring, #amwriting, querying, submitting, under contract, post-publication, popping champagne, popping Xanax—as well as agents, editors, publicists, and everyone else who works with books for a living (or wants to).
“Glow” is a publication of Neon Literary, a top literary agency specializing in literary fiction and all kinds of nonfiction for adult readers. We’re on a mission to secure real power (as opposed to just “empowerment”) for authors who weren’t necessarily born entitled to it, in part by demystifying this opaque industry and its many shibboleths.
I, Anna Sproul-Latimer, co-founder of Neon, write most of the posts here, although my colleagues Kent Wolf and Eloy Bleifuss Prados write posts from time to time, as do occasional guest stars.
We started this newsletter as a kind of in-depth FAQ for Neon clients, made available for the general public as well.
