Through her contacts, Get Lit was able to set up a round-table discussion between myself and three fantastic individuals \u2013 Alana Wilcox from&amp;nbsp;Coach House, Jennifer Lambert from&amp;nbsp;HarperCollins, and Barbara Berson from the&amp;nbsp;Helen Heller Agency.   photo by Sherri Vanderveen  Though dated - this took place in 2017 - the conversation is enlightening. These are people in different positions in the business \u2013 an indie publisher, an international publisher, and a literary agent\/freelance editor. They each have different yet dovetailing perspectives on the state of publishing in Canada, on what they\u2019re looking for in a book, and on what writers should and should not do when trying to get published.
