Re: Ask your publishing questions here

Sorry, you also asked about agents taking on clients in the same light - is it 'who you know'. No, it's not. I've turned down authors who have been recommended to me by close friends and by authors I respect greatly. I've also taken on clients whose work appeared by e-mail when I'd never previously heard of them. It's the writing, the book, that matters, and one's reaction to it, both personally and professionally.
