Literary Agent Interview: Mara Cobb Interview and Query Critique Giveaway

Today I’m thrilled to have agent Mara Cobb here. She’s an agent at Lighthouse Literary. 

Hi Mara! Thanks so much for joining us. 

About Mara: 

1. Tell us how you became an agent, how long you’ve been one, and what you’ve been doing as an agent. 

Hi! Excited to chat about all things agenting! I’ve been an agent since September 2023. Before that, I interned for a year and a half under a senior literary agent, learning the ropes of research, proposal creation, and contracts. 

About the Agency: 

2. Share a bit about your agency and what it offers to its authors. 

Lighthouse Literary represents both children’s and adult fiction and nonfiction. We represent Christian works and secular works as long as the content doesn’t conflict with Christian values. 

What She’s Looking For: 

3. What age groups do you represent—picture books, MG, and/or YA? What genres do you represent, and what are you looking for in submissions for these genres? 

I currently represent kidlit—picture books, MG, and YA (all genres except horror), adult nonfiction, and adult fiction (contemporary, historical fiction, clean romance, and Christian fiction). 

4.  Is there anything you would be especially excited to seeing in the genres you are interested in? 

No matter the genre, I’m continually drawn to well-developed characters. I love main characters that I feel a strong connection to, and I love antagonists that make me inwardly groan or roll my eyes (I have a special love for antagonists that have a believable turning point within the story). Plot-wise, I’m excited by high-stakes climaxes and conclusions that feel well-developed instead of abrupt. 

What She Isn’t Looking For: 

5. What types of submissions are you not interested in? 

I’m not currently accepting picture book or middle grade submissions except through referrals or conference pitches. I am currently interested in YA, adult nonfiction, and adult fiction across genres, though I’m not interested in horror, fantasy (light fantasy or magical realism is fine), and open-door romance. I’m also not a good fit for books with excessive swearing or violence. 

Agent Philosophy: 

6. What is your philosophy as an agent both in terms of the authors you want to work with and the books you want to represent? 

I view the agent/author relationship as a partnership, and I am always excited by authors that view the relationship the same way. Writing and agenting is a continuous process of growth and discovery, and I appreciate when authors remain curious and continue to hone their skills through mentorships, workshops, continued reading in their genre, etc. I want to represent books that bring the “light” to “Lighthouse Literary”—books that serve as a beacon of hope or encouragement or offer a literary escape from our daily lives. 

Editorial Agent: 

7. Are you an editorial agent? If so, what is your process like when you’re working with your authors before submitting to editors? 

Yes, I consider myself to be very editorial. When I go into “the call” with an author, I usually go in with some edits already in mind. When an author signs, we will begin editing together, and we go through multiple editing rounds as needed. I typically offer both content edits and line edit suggestions. My belief, though, is that in the end the finished product is the work of the author—I never force authors to implement any idea. Again—it’s a partnership! 🙂 

Query Methods and Submission Guidelines: (Always verify before submitting) 

8. How should authors query you and what do you want to see with the query letter? 

I accept queries via QueryManager, which is here: https://QueryTracker.net/query/3041 

The form asks for basic information about the author, a query letter, a synopsis, and the first ten pages of the work. In the query letter, I typically want to know the most important aspects of the work, and I’m looking for more information about the author too—who are they? What works have they previously completed or published? What are their writing goals in general? I think of the query as a sort of speed-date. I want to quickly get to know the author and the manuscript. 

9.  Do you have any specific dislikes in query letters or the first pages submitted to you? 

In general, I feel that prologues slow a story down. They typically distract from the true opening of the story and they make it hard for me, as an agent, to get a feel for the story if the prologue is in the way. While there are some stories that do need a prologue, most don’t. I encourage authors to take out the prologue and see if their first chapter can stand on its own. If there are key pieces of info in the prologue, they can generally be incorporated into the opening chapters. 

Response Time: 

10. What’s your response time to queries and requests for more pages of a manuscript? 

My response time to queries averages 8-12 weeks. Full requests or partial requests definitely take longer, up to 4-5 months depending on the time of year and the status of my current clients’ projects. While I would love to be able to respond to queries or full requests quicker, I’m only one person who can only read so much each day, and I always prioritize my current authors. If we’re in the middle of preparing a project for submission, that will take priority. 

Self-Published and Small Press Authors: 

11.  Are you open to representing authors who have self-published or been published by smaller presses? What advice do you have for them if they want to try to find an agent to represent them? 

Yes! I typically don’t go out on submission with a manuscript that’s already been published. But if an author has been self-published or published by a small press, and they query with a brand new project, I’m fine with that. It shows that they take their craft seriously enough to be proactive on their own. 

Clients: 

12. Who are some of the authors you represent? 

I love all of my authors and consider them friends, so it’s hard to name just a few. I currently represent Sharon Chriscoe, author of the Race Car Dreams series, Susan Johnston Taylor, author of the forthcoming book If Pets Wrote Poems, and Laura L. Zimmerman, author of the Banshee Song series. 

Interviews and Guest Posts: 

13. Please share the links to any interviews, guest posts, and podcasts you think would be helpful to writers interested in querying you. 

Here is a link to a blog post I wrote last year, where I share query letter tips: https://goteenwriters.com/2024/01/24/five-tips-for-writing-a-successful-query-letter-to-an-agent/ 

Links and Contact Info: 

14. Please share how writers should contact you to submit a query and your links on the Web. 

My QueryManager link is here: https://QueryTracker.net/query/3041

Personal website: https://maracobbwrites.wordpress.com/

You can also find me on Twitter/X: @MaraCobbWrites 

Additional Advice: 

15. Is there any other advice you’d like to share with aspiring authors that we haven’t covered? 

The journey to publication can be long and full of ups and downs, so don’t hesitate to lean on your community. If you don’t have a writing community, I encourage you to start connecting with other writers, whether you’re joining a national writing organization or meeting up with fellow authors at your local library. 

Thanks for sharing all your advice, Mara.

Help! I’m Lost in the Past: How to Find Resources for Historical Fiction by Author Darlene P. Campos and The Center of the Earth Giveaway

 Happy Monday Everyone! Today I’m excited to have Darlene Campos here to share a guest post to celebrate the release of her MG historical, The Center of the Earth. It sounds like a fascinating time in history that I know nothing about, and I’m excited to read it. 

Here’s a blurb from Goodreads:

 

When Dahlia, the courageous daughter of an Ecuadorian embassy official, sees how Germany is changing as Adolf Hitler's reign takes hold, she knows she must act.

Her best friend, Werner, and his family have been ostracized and endangered, and she can't stand to see them suffer. With a new identity, Werner hesitantly finds a new beginning as part of the Aviles family back in Ecuador.

He and Dahlia must balance the typical growing pains of youth with the distance in culture and geography for Werner.

Based on true accounts from Holocaust survivors, THE CENTER OF THE EARTH gives a heartwarming yet heartwrenching firsthand look at what it means to be a family.

 

Now here’s Darlene! 

Help! I’m Lost in the Past: How to Find Resources for Historical Fiction

Darlene P. Campos 

            History can be a complicated subject, especially when trying to write a story. It’s common to feel overwhelmed by too much or too little information. Furthermore, the internet isn’t always the most reliable source of historical facts, making the journey to find the truth even more challenging. The good news is that there are ways to pinpoint accurate resources. 

            In 2018, I started writing my latest book, The Center of the Earth, a middle-grade historical. It is based on the accounts of Jewish refugees who found refuge in Ecuador during the Holocaust. As an Ecuadorian-American, I was so excited to write this story in honor of my ancestral country, and I wrote the first draft in 28 days. However, I hit a roadblock because I couldn’t find resources to answer my burning questions. For example, most of the refugees were from Germany, and I wondered how long the voyage from Germany to Ecuador was and what it was like. Textbooks and other historical non-fiction provide information like when a war started and ended, but they do not always discuss how people felt. 

            In my case, I figured some of the refugees could still be alive. First, I reached out to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Holocaust Museum Houston. I emailed their archivists and they provided me with digitalized resources, like newspaper articles and photos. One of USHMM’s former volunteers happened to be a refugee who escaped to Ecuador as a seven-year-old boy, and an archivist put us in touch. 

            Additionally, I found a Facebook group called Jews of Ecuador, managed by the children and grandchildren of the refugees. I made a post about my need for resources. Within an hour, I received responses from the group members telling me their parents/grandparents would be happy to talk to me. In total, I interviewed eight refugees for their firsthand accounts. They all told me the trip to Ecuador took three weeks. They described experiencing seasickness, the emotions of leaving their homes for a country they had never even heard of, and how difficult it was to adjust to a new language and culture. I stayed in touch with all eight during my publishing journey. Only two are alive at the time of this writing. I cherish the relationships I have with the ones still living and fondly remember the ones who are no longer here. 

            When seeking truth in history, I strongly recommend going to a primary source. If possible, interview people who witnessed the time period. Ask them how they felt about the situations surrounding them. Ask them how the events transformed their lives. Ask them if their world ever returned to “normal” and, if not, ask them how they moved forward. 

Of course, sometimes history is too far away, and interviewing someone from a specific period is not always possible. In a situation like this, archivists are superheroes. Archivists are the guardians of primary sources. People throughout history often wrote about their experiences, and thankfully, lots of these accounts have been preserved. Some archives may require an in-person trip to view primary sources, as they can be quite fragile. However, plenty of primary resources are digitalized and can be viewed from home. Archives are usually located in museums, but can also be found in universities and libraries. 

In addition to archives, libraries are always an excellent place for historical information. Libraries can assist with finding books, of course, but many libraries offer free access to databases and genealogy websites. My local library, the Harris County Public Library system, has subscriptions to places such as HeritageQuest, which contains primary sources dating to the 1700s, and FamilySearch, a website for genealogical records. Some states also offer an extended library card, allowing for even greater research opportunities. Texas provides the TexShare program, giving patrons access to over 500 libraries in the state. California offers universal borrowing, meaning a California resident with a registered card can access materials across any library in the state. 

Finally, museums contain a vast number of historical sources. Most major museums have an archive along with a library. In some cases, museums contain oral histories, in which a staff member or volunteer interviewed a person affected by a historical event. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, for example, has thousands of oral histories with survivors. Most of the files are available via their website. The Oral History Center at Berkeley Library at the University of California is home to numerous oral histories, ranging from the history of the California Fire Department to the history of Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream. The Chicago History Museum also contains oral histories covering topics such as the Civil Rights Movement and Polish immigration to Illinois. 

The mission to find factual resources can be tedious, but it is important to remember the value of accuracy and that many places and people are willing to assist with research. I am forever grateful to the refugees I interviewed and to all the archivists, historians, scholars, and librarians who guided me through the process. The wonderful guardians of the past are the reason why writing a historical story is possible. 

Bio: Darlene P. Campos earned her MFA in creative writing from the University of Texas at El Paso. When she's not writing, she enjoys reading, exercising, and going to museums. She is Ecuadorian-American and lives in Houston, TX with her husband and their eight rescue cats. Her latest book, The Center of the Earth, a middle-grade historical novel released by Blue Handle Publishing, is based on the true accounts of Holocaust survivors who found refuge in Ecuador during World War II.

Author Interview: Pamela N. Harris and Through Our Teeth Giveaway and IWSG Post

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Today, I’m excited to have Pamela N. Harris to share about her YA mystery/thriller Through Our Teeth. I love murder mysteries, and Pamela’s book sounds like a real page turner. I’m looking forward to reading it. 

Here’s a blurb from Goodreads: 

Three teens investigate a murder—while each tries to hide their own complicated history with the dead girl—in this thought-provoking novel from award-winning author Pamela N. Harris. Perfect for fans of Karen M. McManus and Tiffany D. Jackson!

Hope Jackson is dead. Everyone is convinced she took her own life, but Liv, one of Hope’s best friends, isn’t so sure. Hope’s boyfriend, Brendan, was always jealous and possessive, and his alibi doesn’t really check out. But in the town’s eyes, Hope was just some nobody who was going to drag down golden boy Brendan. 

So with the help of Hope’s other two best friends, Kizzie and Sherie, Liv is determined to bring Brendan’s actions to light. Together, they vow to make him pay.

But as their plans keep escalating, Liv begins to have second thoughts—especially as she’s realizing that Brendan may not be the only one with the motive or opportunity to kill Hope. Is Liv really getting justice for Hope, or is she just helping one of Hope’s so-called friends cover up their lies?

 

Before I get to Julie’s interview, I have my IWSG post. 

Posting: The first Wednesday is officially Insecure Writer's Support Group Day. 

Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds! 

The awesome co-hosts this month are: Jennifer Lane, Jenni Enzor, Renee Scattergood, Rebecca Douglass, Lynn Bradshaw, and Melissa Maygrove! 

Optional Question: When you began writing, what did you imagine your life as a writer would be like? Were you right, or has this experience presented you with some surprises along the way? 

When I started writing in the mid-2000s, I was way more excited about writing and trying to get published. I was already the breadwinner of the family and had a successful career as a lawyer helping clients, so I knew I wouldn’t quit my day job. 

I had more hope back then. But I’ve seen the ups and downs of the publishing world and the lack of control over whether you’ll sell a book and how well your book will do. I feel like I lost a lot of control over my life in general when my husband died and I was laid off from my job. I don’t have much control over my work or income as a writer on contract. So, I really just want to write for myself at this point in life.

I’m not working on my book right now because I’m too busy with other things that mean more to me, including Literary Rambles. And it’s okay with me. I really want to focus on doing things that help others, including writers and authors who have a stronger dream than me. 

Interview With Pamela N. Harris 

Hi Pamela! Thanks so much for joining us. 

1. Tell us about yourself and how you became a writer. 

Wow, I’ll try my best to give you the short version! I’ve always wanted to be a writer, but it never was anything I thought was in the realm of possibility. However, while I was a school counselor, two things happened. First, I noticed that a lot of my Black students were being referred to reading intervention courses, but after talking to them, I realized that they didn’t have actual issues with reading—they had issues with the stories being selected for them. Most of the stories didn’t feature characters that looked like them. Second, I did a lot of career counseling with my students and talked a lot about not being afraid of chasing their dreams. But the more I spoke with them about that, the more I realized that I was not practicing what I preached. So, I decided to take my writing more seriously at that point—both to write stories that looked like them (and me!), as well as to follow my lifelong dream. After nabbing an agent and almost a decade of going out on submission with four different manuscripts, I finally landed my first book deal! 

2. That’s a cool reason to follow your dreams. Where did you get the idea for Through Our Teeth? 

Haha, this once again goes back to my school counseling days! At the time, there was this super popular celebrity couple, and the guy had been arrested for physically assaulting his just-as-famous girlfriend. While I was prepared to process this second-hand trauma with my students, I was surprised that they were really angry at the female celebrity. In fact, they blamed her for the incident and sided with the male. To say I was shocked is an understatement! But this led me to seeing how society largely villainizes women for speaking up. I had a very rough draft of the story over a decade ago, but recently I was able to refine and revise it to the story on shelves today. It was like we both needed that time to marinate before sharing it with the world. 

Your Writing Process 

3. Where did you learn how to write mysteries and thrillers? How do you recommend other authors learn to write them? 

Truly, the best way I learned how to write mysteries and thrillers was by reading a lot of them. Some of my favorite authors in this genre are Tiffany D. Jackson, Holly Jackson, SA Cosby, and Riley Sager. As you might guess from that list, I like to read across categories (i.e., YA and adult). I also learn a lot from watching movies. In fact, when I write, I see my stories as movies. Adding that cinematic element makes me excited to return to the manuscript and, hopefully, makes readers excited to keep turning pages! 

3. Seeing your stories as movies is great advice. Talk about how you plotted out the mystery in Through Our Teeth. 

I like to write out my major plot points in either a notebook or a spreadsheet (sometimes both). Once I figure out the critical scenes I want to include, I need to figure out “whodunnit.” Then, once I figure out whodunnit, I try to list reasons as to why they did it. This helps me add more texture to the pages, such as ways to better develop the characters or include scenes that could provide more of a backstory. Jessica Brody does a fantastic job of describing this in her book, Save the Cat Writes a Young Adult Novel. This is usually my “go to” strategy to figure out sticky plotting issues. 

4. I want to try to use her method too. One of the things that appeals to me about your book is that Liv, Kizzie, and Sherie are complicated characters with secrets to hide. Share a bit about them and why you decided that having them have a complicated past with Hope should be a plot line. 

I don’t know about you, but some of my favorite stories to read and movies to watch include unreliable characters. I love the idea of people wearing “masks” (which is featured prominently in this novel), and what kind of chaos needs to go on around them that makes them shed said masks. I also love a good locked-room thriller, so what better way for secrets to slowly spill then to have these characters stuck in a space together and not knowing who to trust. Liv is the main character, but I thought it was important to not create a true “heroine” in the story. We’re all flawed in some ways, and it’s those flaws, struggles, resiliencies, and so forth that shape who we become. I also wanted to showcase how one person can have so much influence that the unlikeliest of people could become friends. Each one of these girls are so different, yet they all share a bond with Hope—the dead girl in the story. What happens to this group when the nucleus is gone? It was super fun exploring that. 

Your Journey to Publication 

5. Natalie Lakosil is your agent. How did she become your agent, and what was your road to publishing your debut book, When You Look Like Us? 

Funny story—I never actually queried Natalie. Okay, scratch that, I queried Natalie YEARS ago and she rejected me LOL. It was for a dark love story that will thankfully never see the light of day. However, I did get one yes, and that agent stuck beside me through so many twists and turns in my budding writing career. As I mentioned earlier, together we worked on four different manuscripts that went through submissions (which, in short, she sent to editors with hopes that we’d get a yes from a publishing house). We had a few close calls, but nothing quite reached the finish line. However, my writing was being talked about behind the scenes (in a good way!). An editor reached out to my former agent about a story idea and asked if she knew a writer that might be good for it. Lo and behold, When You Look Like Us was born. 

Sadly, right after my deal, my agent decided it was time for her to leave the business. However, she thought that I would be a perfect fit for another agent in her agency, who just happened to be Natalie. We had a phone call, sensed there was magic between us, and now she can’t gid rid of me LOL. 

6. What an amazing way to get your agent! This is your third book release since you were a debut author in 2021. How have you grown your career? What advice do you have for other authors? 

Wow, I still can’t believe that! I think the main way I have grown is allowing myself space and time to actually be inspired by a story instead of chasing trends. I used to worry about publishing a book per year, but when I felt rushed, my stories were never authentic. Thus, I gave myself time to let the muse speak to me. When I write something, it’s because I can’t stop thinking about it. I followed the advice from one of my professors in my doctoral program: write about what pisses you off. Of course, that was for my dissertation at the time, but I apply that same mantra for the stories I feel like I have to tell. So my advice: tell the stories you want to tell, not what others think you should write. 

Marketing Your Book 

7. Through Our Teeth was released in September, 2025. How have you been promoting it? How has your approach to marketing changed since you were a debut author? 

Not going to lie, but marketing and publicity is NO FUN for an introvert like me. It’s tough to put myself out there and ask people to buy my book, even though that’s exactly what I need to do to be able to write more books! Since I know that I’m not good at it, I’ve sourced out for help. With some of my advance, I actually hired an outside publicity team to help nab interviews and guest post to help with the exposure. I’ve used the same team for two out of three of my novels, and the difference is striking! I also pay for some of my own ads to help with marketing. The biggest change over the years is knowing that I need to be proactive about getting the word out. Now I just need to work on being more consistent with talking about my books in between publication dates, haha! 

8. You hired a publicist to help with marketing your book. What made you decide to hire one, and how has this helped you? 

As I mentioned above, my publicist is able to make connections that I’m too shy to make on my own. With her help, I was able to be featured in my local paper—as well as on a local morning show. I’ve never in my life thought I’d set foot in a television studio, and I probably never would have without the work of my publicist. 😊 

9. What are you working on now? 

Ah, great question! I’ve been getting some feedback that readers have been enjoying some of the horror elements I integrated into Through Our Teeth. So, why not go full steam ahead? I’m working on a pitch for a YA horror novel as we speak.
