The Art of Selling and Working with Agents
The world and dreams of being a published writer sure took a turn with Covid19. It was already headed toward ebooks and online purchasing. Traditional publishing, including myself, was not ready and fighting it all the way. There's something about having a hardbound novel in your hands that feels you made it! Now it feels like everyone can get something published. I feel for agents, their passion. All writers look forward to someday being re[resented by one of those NY agents, or any agent from any where. Good agents is one of the best things that happened to the writing world. They are the ones that founds the new diamonds and made them. Not having agents is like not having a mom or a dad. Like you lost a family member. To all the agents of the world: hang in there. The publishing industry needs you. Dreaming writers need you.
