Running a Literary Agency & Debuting a Novel with Catherine Cho

Hello Protagonists!

Welcome to another episode of the Creative, Inspired, ALIVE podcast—where we go behind the scenes with the storytellers shaping our culture.

Our next guest, Catherine Cho, is the acclaimed author of The Devoted and the memoir Inferno. She was shortlisted for The Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year 2020 and shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize. Catherine also runs her own literary agency, Paper Literary. Originally from the United States, she now lives with her family in London.

Today, we talk about:

• the dual life of an agent and writer,

• researching the underbelly of society,

• the future of literary fiction,

• finding the beginning of a story,

• and so much more.

💕, Joanna & Evelyn
