I'm on my fourth agent...so far I've sold all my own books, but yes they are all small press. My current agent hopes to sell me bigger.<br />Hi Clarissa, I have seen and heard rumblings that it is harder to be an agent these days- what with e-books and with the market so darn tight. So, yes, I feel for them, too, and understand their hope to make the most money for their work. It doesn't make it easier for writers, though.Cheers~Nancy J.

But, I think they can really benefit the writer.<br />CDAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160669603997465454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029827633604595044.post-28903504685081744522010-12-15T10:22:11.250-08:002010-12-15T10:22:11.250-08:00Agents are good if you can land one, but that take...Agents are good if you can land one, but that takes a history of success - starting with a smaller publisher is most writer's best option.L.
