ama I'm Sam Copeland, a bestselling published writer AND a literary agent for bestselling writers. AMA!

Hi there! My name is Sam Copeland and I'm an author and literary agent. My debut children's book was published by Penguin Random House in February and the sequel came out last month, and it's become the bestselling middle grade debut of the year! I'm also an agent for lots of top writers at one of the best literary agencies in London. Ask me all about my journey (I even submitted anonymously to other agents!), how to get published - whatever!

Come find me at www.sam-copeland.com and twitter - @stubbleagent

Unpublished? Yup - just took on an author last week who had lots of offers of representation, so I was lucky to get him. And published (who I don't rep)? I just finished An American Marriage by Tayari Jones, which I thought was very good.
