NEWBIE AGENTS, your best bet!

New agents, more than the veterans, are looking for you! They need/want talented clients in order to become established. They need/want to sign up competent writers who have written salable stories so they can create income to keep food on the table and keep them in yoga classes, or scuba gear, or whatever. One thing to look for is the stability and longevity of the agency they represent. If they'd opened their doors the day before yesterday with no industry track record, you'll be smart to perform due diligence before signing on the dotted line.
