I'll turn over my writing career (and income) to you. I'll allow you to negotiate my contracts, even though you may know less about the difference between a good clause and a bad one than I do, and even if your interests lie far closer to those of the publisher than mine. <br /><br />The prestige of being able to add "Representation: Sydney T. Cat of I Can Has 15% Literary Agency" to my business cards, and occasionally drop the words "my agent" into conversations will quell any doubts I may have about your qualifications or integrity. With you as my agent I will be a "real writer."Bridget McKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551190428721385000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666232155240765457.post-82032404185795840692012-03-04T01:51:29.287-08:002012-03-04T01:51:29.287-08:00Sorry, but I had to go with my beagle agent.
