Just to update
Jul. 18th, 2005 07:48 pmMost of you know already with my fanfiction journal, but I wanted to put it officially here, as this journal is embedded on my website.
I sold my book! "Standish" a homoerotic love story set in 1820 has been accepted by PD Publishing - and they've sent me the contract to check over.
Now - the thing is - I have an agent waiting in the wings, who told me that if PD accepted me, he would jump in and negotiate for me. But I don't know if I want to bother with him. On the Con (heh heh) side, he would charge me commission on my (probably negligible) profits and I am not over eager because ... well, to take on an author AFTER they've done all the hard work to get published seems rather cheeky.
on the Pro side - He will know the business, and might be able to negotiate a good deal, when I wouldn't know a good deal if it bit me on the nose. Plus - he would do the pimping for me to bigger publishers if I get better known (hee hee)
so... does that mean that agents are all cons? or pros? (rofls)
