The situation is BIG with wide-spread ramifications. I know that I'll be asking about succession plans in the event of an agent leaves an agency.

Query Quest

We have interviewed many agents as part of our Book Broker series, and they all speak to a similar issue: most writers query before they are truly ready.

Reading romance books and befuddling clowns at the same time means I'm living my best life. 😄

P.S. if you're a writer seeking representation, probably not a good idea to leave disparaging genre remarks on a post that has an agent tagged. 😘

Don’t Stress Over Comp Titles

"If you’ve sent out twenty or thirty query submissions and received only rejections, chances are the issue isn’t just your comparable titles."
