Some podcasts might take the week off for Labor Day, and while we’re not ones to cast aspersions on anyone’s motives or work ethic: fuck those guys. Here at Book Fight, we know your problems don’t take a holiday, so our solutions don’t, either.

On this week’s episode, we tackle questions about cover letters, stilted dialogue, and what to do if you don’t like your friend’s book. Plus: Tom shares a story about getting assaulted in his sleep with a sack full of doorknobs.

As always, you can stream the episode right here on our website, or click on the download link for the mp3 file. Better yet, subscribe to the podcast in iTunes so you never miss an episode.
