Emotional strength from a literary agent


Self-publishing is not a passing fad. It's been growing in strength for nearly a decade now and shows no signs of stopping. 

In a time when our world is becoming more automated and more digital, it's nice to know that there are still some real benefits to working with a live person; someone who's willing to be your cheerleader and work with you towards success.

"With self-publishing becoming more widely accepted and Amazon waging wars with publishers, more and more I get the sense from aspiring authors that they don't think landing an agent means as much as it used to.
