AGENT ADVICE

Finding a good agent is like negotiating a minefield. For every successful, skilled, well-meaning agent, there are at least as many con artists waiting to take your money. Let Dan Perez share his experience with you. Learn how to tell a "business card agent" (someone whose only qualification is his ability to print up business cards that say "literary agent") from a legitimate one. Find out under what circumstances you do and don't need an agent--not every author requires one. Then read Dan's advice on how to find an agent, and his list of questions to ask any agent who expresses an interest in taking you on. It's hard to go wrong here.
