Sydney Wisdom of the Day - Part Time Agent

Sydney:

I'm thinking of opening a "Boutique" agency.  I'll have the literary offices in the back, and sell embarrassing dog-clothes out front!  (How you liking that pink rhinestone collar and matching tutu, butch?  PurRRR!)


Hey, I can multitask!  You don't mind having a part-time agent, do you?  

Do not worry your pretty little head about it.


PURRRRR!

Do you know why they call it a "book advance?"

Sydney Wisdom of the Day - Editorial Likes

Sydney:


Dear client -


No, that editor did not like your book.


If they'd liked it, I would have sent it to them.


No, of course they haven't read it!  Weren't you listening?

Sydney Wisdom of the Day - Trust but Verify

Sydney:


They say, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."


It's true!


Fortunately, most of my clients never even bother to get even a little knowledge of what I'm up to with their business!

Sydney Wisdom of the Day - Uncertainty

Sydney:


Putting an agent into the middle of financial transaction like a book deal puts an entirely new layer of confusion, uncertainty, and delay into an industry already rife with confusion, uncertainty, and delay.


That certainly leaves me a lot of room to maneuver.

Sydney Wisdom of the Day - "For the duration of the contract"

Sydney:


When I handle a contract, it's like when I get stuck hanging from the drapes.


Once I get my hooks in, they ain't NEVER coming out!


Please do not worry your pretty little head about this...
