Short Story and Literary Author Allegra Hyde and the Labor and Anxiety

<p>Short Story and Literary Author Allegra Hyde joins Queries, Qualms, &amp; Quirks this week to discuss submitting without an agent, having agents reach out to her, the book deal that felt like a miracle, the difference from working with a university press, letting go as an author, over-researching, over-revising, and how community is everything. </p> <p>Allegra Hyde&#39;s newest book, the story collection THE LAST CATASTROPHE, will be published this March by Vintage. She is also the author of the novel ELEUTHERIA, which was named a &quot;Best Book of 2022&quot; by The New Yorker, and the story collection OF THIS NEW WORLD, which won the John Simmons Short Fiction Award. She currently teaches at Oberlin College.</p> <p>Allegra: <a href="https://www.allegrahyde.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/allegra_hyde">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/allegrahyde/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://amzn.to/41jPiHC">Amazon</a> | <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1209/9780593315262">Bookshop</a> | <a href="https://libro.fm/referral?isbn=%209780593668450&rf_code=lfm164099">Libro FM</a></p> <p><a href="https://sarahnicolas.com/queries-qualms-quirks/">QQQ Home Base</a> |<a href="https://www.patreon.com/sarahnicolas"> Support on Patreon</a></p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/16aPMBopwjCgRkgRFYT6IS9ZPdjtiN77W/edit?usp=share_link&ouid=117960902139688351428&rtpof=true&sd=true">Read the full transcript.</a></p> <p>If links aren&#39;t clickable, find them here: <a href="https://bit.ly/qqqhyde">https://bit.ly/qqqhyde</a> </p> <p>This page includes affiliate links.
