Top US agent, Nathan Bransford, has blogged about an issue I know a lot of writers are confused about – whether to telephone an agent and talk to them or not.
If you have done any research on the publishing business (and, if you want to be a writer, you’d better be doing just that), you should know that agents are busy, busy people. Even their own clients have to wait in line to speak to them at the most frenetic times – so the last thing they need is half a dozen calls a day from unpublished authors asking the same questions over and over.
Want to know how to approach an agent? Search the web or visit your library. Trust me – the answers are there. And, that way, you haven’t blotted your copybook with an agent by interrupting them on the ‘phone.
