Wednesday Q & J: June 28, 2023

Q:  Should writers have agents?

J: I wouldn’t do anything without my agent. First of all, she knows the names and emails of almost every editor working today

in my field(s). Second she understands contracts while I read thorough quickly and understand perhaps half. But also

she is someone I can talk to about important stuff–like advances or what editor is looking for a specific kind of book,

or whether a publishing company has been treating their authors badly. THAT sort of thing.
