  • My point was not to ask ME to contact her on your behalf, especially if you're an aspiring writer I don't know. At all. You can track my agent down like an elk in the wild if you want to ... although she's not really hiding behind trees or anything.

  • It's hilarious that aspiring writers think we have any pull with our agents or editors. Don't they know it's like porn and we're just the meat?

  • @dannymarksya ROFL. So, so true!

  • I really tried to lisen but your tone and representation of how to get an agent boarded me to sleep. I really had fallen a sleep. Then as I got to my third cup of coffee I could make heads or tales of what you were talking about??? Where you bragging or advising or just talking to see yourself talk?

  • Hi Michele! I am self published and would like to get an agent to take me on as a client so that I can have an insider that knows the ropes and can get better deals for me.

  • I have had agents tell me they like my synopsis but are only really interested in "teen vampire fiction"? WTF? I can't even get anyone to read my stuff...I'm writing about sex, drugs and rock n' roll and they are asking for stories about glittery bloodsuckers...I'm glad Bukowski is dead cause Twilight would have broken his spirit had he lived to see it blow up.

  • Why did she giver her agent's name and location if she is so adamant about not contacting her. record the video again and leave out that part so you don't look so arrogant.

  • Excellent! Enjoyed this immensely!
