Some other question...Congratulations, Caller #4!!!<br /><br />Some other questions to consider: what is submission strategy? Who (generally) will they be targeting (i.e., big publishers, small press, etc.)? What did they like about this manuscript/your writing? A question Janet Reid suggests you ask: do they represent YOU or the book/manuscript?<br /><br />Something that gets lost in all this desperate drive for agents: Even though we're the ones jumping through all the hoops, the author/agent relationship is a partnership. Don't be afraid to assert yourself or say what's on your mind. AND DON'T SETTLE! If you get an offer and you're really not crazy about the agent, don't sign on with the agent/agency just because they offered. Sometimes it's best to walk away.<br /><br />Good luck!
