[ISBW] Agents and Author Expectations
00:13:57
S19 Ep16Recorded live, March 16, 2023
As much as I've talked about agents, I still get questions, so here are some answers. However, I realize I misused a lot of words in this one. I'm having a bad day. Please don't assume anything about me like Benoit Blanc*.
All agents will look at contracts, try to sell your books to publishers, handle foreign rights and film (and other) sales, and be your best cheerleader. Beyond that, each one is different.

The Picasso quote that I mangled: "We artists are indestructible, even in a prison cell or a concentration camp I would be all right in my own world of art. Even if I had to paint my pictures with my tongue on the dusty floor of my cell."
It's hard to feel invincible, but we are. Remember that.
The word I was looking for to equal contagonist was Mirror Character, who is a lot like the protagonist but interferes.
AITA letter referenced ("I am a train enthusiast..." what is it with these guys and their vehicle obsession? First this guy, then the "pilot" guy...)
