In which we ask again...
May. 6th, 2004 08:03 amI asked back in November, but got no responses...
If anyone here has had positive or negative experiences with an established literary agent, would they mind letting me know.
There are so many out there, and much like a lawyer or a plumber, it seems that they are all selling themselves as the best. I figured one of the best ways to find one (or several, as there's a good chance I may need to apply to several (many? hundreds?) before finding one who will be willing to represent my work.) would be to check with those who are pleased with their experiences with someone in the field.
Now that the final copy of my first book is off to the publisher, I need to come up with a game plan for the future... My first book was "write for hire" so no agent, no "shopping it around"...
