An Example

Grrrr… in a bad mood this morning. Missing my WRW Meeting because the TRAFFIC in this TOWN is SO RIDICULOUS that on a SATURDAY MORNING I was stuck in GRIDLOCK on the beltway for an HOUR and only got about FIVE MILES from my house.

Ahem. Feeling better now.

A new agent named Jennifer Schober recently visited the Author MBA blog. This was my favorite quote: “I’ve been actively acquiring as an agent since October of ’06, and since then have sold 15 books.”

This is how you tell the difference between a real agent and a scam agent. When an agent says they are new and that’s why they haven’t made any sales yet, they better have hung up their shingle recently enough for their celebratory cake to still be fresh. When agents go on for years, signing clients, hanging out at conferences, and making ZERO sales, having zero sales listed on their websites…

Look at that agent. One year of agenting, fifteen sales. Keep that in your head.
