About this Course
How to Hire (or Fire) an Agent
Hiring the wrong agent can wreak havoc on your writing career for years to come. Protect yourself by learning how to choose the right one. If you’ve already chosen the wrong one, learn how to conduct a graceful “divorce.” Topics to be discussed include: when to hire an agent, where to find one, identifying red flags, signs of a keeper, and how to tell when it’s time to let go.
