Re: Simultaneous submissions

An agent's track record is one thing, but their recent track record is particularly important. Like in any other job, people get jaded with the business. The thing that impressed me most about the agent I signed with was that he was as hungry for success as I was ... if not more so. That drive in an agent is very important. An agent hungry for success is likely to move heaven and earth to get that deal for you. However, hunger for success must be combined with results. Not just one big deal, but a solid track record of success. The good ones do tend to stand out from the crowd.
