A good agent can open doors that will only open for an unagented writer once in a rare blue moon.<BR/><BR/>But a loser agent is just a waste of your time and faith.

I thought by getting an agent (as most writers do)that I would have access to the big publishing houses that won't look at unagented submissions. All I ended up with at the end of each month was a bill for postage and a list of where she submitted. I never saw a query or cover letter that she had written. I never saw a response letter from the editors. I felt very trapped in this writer/agent relationship. <BR/>Now, by doing the leg work myself, I know who and when exactly I have submitted to and what their response is. Plus I get to see the hand written comments from the editors on my work ( so I must be doing something right.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
