From my perspective, I can understand why some authors might think what your headline states. That's because we don't really understand what you agents do. I hear 15% commission on domestic sales and my first reaction is, "I would sign everyone!" After giving your profession some thought, however, I can see that agents (successful ones) probably have to spend hours and hours on each project before they can even submit it to over-burdened editors for their acceptance. After hearing about an agent's job, I can certainly understand why my inbox is filled with rejections.David A. Bossiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312673918592811428noreply@blogger.com
