Agents, Work, and Delays in the Edit

February 24, 2007

I know little of anything about how to find an agent. I bought a book, the title escapes me right now and the book is in another part of the house and I'm too lazy to go find it, but I think it's titled, "Literary Agents: How to," or something similar.

After having read through the book; it seems the task of finding an agent isdaunting - and I don't know if any of my stuff is worth the effort that would be required. Still, how nice it would be to "have an agent;" someone working for me, to get my words out into the world. I wouldn't really care too much about any money; just the thrill of being able to say, "Yes, at Simon Schuster," when people ask if I've published anything. Of course, I did "publish" my first bokk with a POD; but I'm not convinced that is "real" publishing - is it?

I have one more week of full time work; then I'm back at editing The Marker. Can't wait to get it in final form!!!
