Hopefully, you'...Thanks for answering the question. Hopefully, you'll see this comment so you know you've been thanked.<br /><br />You've certainly explained why becoming an agent is difficult and why few people would be keen to give it a go - especially in Australia. Yet new agents do appear from time to time - quite often people who worked for larger agencies starting up on their own, from what I've seen in PW announcements. They all have my sympathy and best wishes.<br /><br />I think I was expecting an answer like, "because only so many books can be sold in the Australian market and we already have far too many agents pushing far too many books to too few publishers who are publishing fewer titles to a book-buying public that is fast abandoning us." Or somesuch.<br /><br />Not that I was really expecting an answer at all, so thanks again.graywavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11609426782409481706noreply@blogger.com
