This makes me think of a couple where one partner could absolutely do all the busy work, pay bills, taxes, clean house, run errands and the like, that it takes to keep a family afloat while the other holds down a job! We can dream! Can't we?! I'm into the third draft of my second manuscript and pleased with the way it's unfolding!🎉
I'm so appreciative of all the great info the two of you share ! I feel blessed that I've found some honest to goodness people who seem eager to share very important knowledge so freely with us . Thank You so much !!
Ya'll are a type of diplomat between the author and publisher to make negotiations work more smoothly. Your 'embassy' is your offices with butts in seats, paperwork moving, and calls made. Love you guys. Keep the wisdom coming. It helps me greatly to prepare for a novelist future.
I love these videos, especially the older ones with the green background sheet. I will be submitting my book in mid-October, and I'm terrified. There are many benefits to working with an agent. Good luck to everyone. May every word be a step forward to your success. Corey 😊
Another couple of thoughts on my WIP, my second manuscript, upmarket commercial women's fiction with subgenre magical realism, could've only been written by me! That's true of my first one too, but particularly is fitting for this manuscript! Think women, feminism, family, friends of the family, Southern backdrops and snippets, here and there, of the unique language, rooted in French, of the Louisiana area!📚
Thank you for another interesting video! I was wondering: Do you do those tax forms, etc also for foreign authors with whom you have a contract? For both the USA and the author's country?
For the most part, when an author is based outside of the US, we try to set it up so that the publisher pays the author directly rather than having the money flow through the agency, for the sake of convenience and efficiency. This means that the publisher would be responsible for providing tax forms at the end of the year!
I’m about ready to query . My question is why would I query a publisher or editor in a publishing company? Won’t I still need an agent? It’s not like I’m Going to understand a contract. My brain has turned to jello trying to figure out how to format my MS in word.
Many trad publishing houses won't even accept unagented queries; and you're right, that it's beneficial to have an agent who will fight for you when it comes to contract negotiating, so we really don't recommend working with publishers without an agent representing your best interests in most circumstances. Good luck!

Thanks for your content. Would you be willing to make a video talking about working with publicists??
Glad you enjoyed! We'll add that to our list of possible videos!

Thanks for this, great content. I need this right now and I really hope I get an agent soon. I don't really want to self publish anymore.
