How A Freelance Editor Is Made

Why I am not an agent

Manuscript assessment became the basis of my business, and I love working directly with authors. Recently, one of my clients give me a e-mail sent. He completed his amendment and send the agent questions (and I think he's got a great shot - it really is extraordinary book) is willing to start out. He wanted to send me some recommendations, but also, in so many words, if I ever thought about getting into the game agenting asked, because he really like me to be your agent.

There are a few reasons why I became an agent at this point in my career are not considered.will be required. I work for myself and love building my own business - and I have no desire to go back to NY.

And then there is no moral. Of course I charge my clients for my editing services. I became an agent, I would stop editing shop business - ethically, you simply can not run both. You do not charge the end customer, they can become agents, and they also charge a percentage. Yes, there are agents who are doing it, but they kind of agent that you do not want to deal with.

Finally, a very important reason to not want to be an agent at this point in my career.

I like writers. I work with them to shape their characters and love stories.You can not always do so as an agent. Agents make money on the commission, if the book is not selling, they do not get paid.

Once upon a time I worked as an assistant to a literary agent. My job was to sort through all the questions, only the very best and my agent was looking up the possibility. I requested some partials, so just relax rejection letter was sent. It sounds cruel, but that we can do - every day another batch of 50-100 questions came in the mail.

Partials, I was asked to read ten to twenty pages. From the start I did not draw the manuscript, and a rejection letter went out.

, or that we send a rejection letter yet.

to prepare for. The next book that can really bring a few dollars in the firm - but by then we were taken to try to find the manuscript.

And that is why I do what I do. That is why I am not an agent. Because when the manuscript to my door, or his or her manuscript about fixing comes to an author contacts me, I do not turn anyone away. I send out rejection letters, just so I can move on to the next big thing is not.I make more money as an agent? Maybe. But I will have relationships with authors I?
