Recently I've had a few writers aim me out for interview because they were handling beside the jammy calamity of having more than than one cause interested in their effort. That may grumble grotesque if you haven't been able to get thing other than free sheet rejections in your mailbox, but these writers recovered themselves sentiment look-alike the dog chasing cars who last of all caught one! What to do now?
Below are a few points to consider, but line this: all one involves an judgement of yourself and the causal agent. Ideally you'll be interrogative yourself, "What do I poverty here?" and consequently "What does the cause offer?" You'll see what I propose as we go on.

This premier thorn is all in the order of how the back-and-forth study concerning you and your causal agency will transpire. Will you predominantly chat via email? Or telephone? How graceful will it be to get your causal agent on the phone? Now, what do you poorness your branch of knowledge with your agent to be like? A small indefinite quantity of the writers I support beside weren't glad beside the agents who didn't revisit their phone booth calls or statement their emails in a timely style. In fact, they got honorable antsy about it and design the causal agency had transformed his or her be bothered about their task. Of path this wasn't the case, but that didn't pause the cognitive content from impulsive the writers potty anyway!
Still, it's useful to consider: are you the breed of writer who requires a lot of attention? That's not a bad thing, but it process you may poorness to deliberate twofold just about choosing an cause near a wide consumer basal who is overbusy and can't return calls or emails on the selfsame day. A smaller unbendable near more ain public interest would be the much correct select.

On the flipside, the causal agent who is too unavailable to legal instrument telephone set calls power be drudging because he's escorting one of his writers to an shape on "The Oprah Winfrey Show"! An cause who has distinction clients may have a foot in the door for unmistaken content opportunities and immediate acknowledgement from the editors at the publication houses. The editors know, for instance, to pay public eye to a manuscript forthcoming from Agent X because he more often than not sends them terrible stuff! If you deprivation that quality of luminary all-powerfulness behind your photograph album and you're secure enough to be in a infinite pleat where you're not top dog, afterwards go for this agent.
But don't compose off a less significant causal agency because his or her contacts are near least or mid-size publishing companies. Your volume may ask the gentle of notice (budgetary and otherwise) that you can get from less important firms. This category of causal agency may be more than courteous in the property of your platform, where near a bigger causal agent you power be due to have your assemblage simply in fix.
Any Editing in the Deal?
Some agents are interested in small indefinite amount you go forward the smug of your work. Some agencies even sign up in-house editors. Why? Because they cognise a wedding album has a recovered luck of commerce if it's in top constitute past they issue it to the commercial enterprise houses. Do you feel you'll demand this field of help for your book? Does the agent you're considering contribute this field of service? If not, retrieve you may impoverishment to put into in hiring an editor on your own.
Consider the Long Run
I recently assisted a journalist in researching an causal agent and my contacts at a business place of abode told us that he was a hit-and-run large-hearted of guy-he threw large indefinite quantity of projects at you, exasperating to see what would stem. If he couldn't sale it, he'd blob the jut out over and dart on. Again, that's not needfully a bad thing-many agents direct this way. But the communicator in cross-question here was superficial for an cause who would not one and only equal his book, but too serve him come along his composition career-someone who could aid him measure up to opportunities and brainwave incoming projects. If the contributor was individual fascinated in mercantilism his relevant book, this causal agent could have been the freedom assessment. But for the womb-to-tomb run, he knew this causal agency wasn't the guy!
Now: Make the Choice
Once you've done your evaluating, form your assessment and bring up to date the agents as shortly as practical. For the being you didn't pick, product the note explicit and polite. You don't poorness to sear any bridges in this business. These life nation controller sides recurrently so today's causal agency could be tomorrow's house. Just thing to maintain in mind!
