BTB26: Literary agent to authors like Marie Kondo, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra – A Chat with Bill Gladstone

Before the Bestseller


Marie Kondo, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield.

T
hese are just a few of the names of which today’s guest has represented as a literary agent.

He has personally placed more than 5000 titles with dozens of publishers. He’s also the founder of Waterside Productions Inc. which stemmed from his great grandfathers publishing business – founded during the great depression printing study guides for the DMV. 

Echkart Tolle is one of my favorite authors and so I wanted to hear about the behind the scenes on how he became what he is today. I also wanted to learn more about what happens behind the scenes in the traditional publishing world from someone who’s been in the industry for decades. 

We also end our chat talking about BIll’s next adventure, NFTs.
