A literary agent
recently posted
that agents need
to make money from books
because it is a career for them
but writers don’t have
the same need
for money
because it is a passion for them.
F*ck that agent.
I hope everyone she represents
looks for someone else
to partner with.
Because, of course, writers
need to make money.
Writing might be a great job
but it is still a job.
And writers need to eat also.
Also…
no one works with an agent
for fun.
That is purely a business relationship.
Make certain
the people and businesses
you partner with
have the same view
of your future
as you do.
If they don’t,
look for someone else
to partner with.
