Agents make their money by taking a percentage of the money that you make, which means they get paid when they get you a book contract! In the meantime, they should ask for money only to reimburse them for expenses like postage and copying.Anica Lewishttp://www.anicalewis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-4079405310185645992009-08-08T21:24:52.458-07:002009-08-08T21:24:52.458-07:00To Patricia,

What if that publisher had not been interested in your book (but I'm glad they were)??<br />To Anonymous,<br />If you can get an agent to represent you without a heavy fee attached, I say GO FOR IT!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575560533081045606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632066856322950117.post-35089987958286023302009-08-07T17:19:54.975-07:002009-08-07T17:19:54.975-07:00I am curious as to why go the route of submitting ...I am curious as to why go the route of submitting to a publisher without an agent.
