The field of independent artists and their representatives can start to feel a little too small, so it's great to hear these steps can and should be taken, seriously in fact, so everyone can be successful and feel good about it.

Jill thank you for your generosity of sharing the details of your experience about finding an agent. You have touched upon some of the most important things people need to look for when they are beginning their process. I love that you were honest, and willing to share your experience in detail. Congratulations on working with Ruth ! I think you made an excellent choice and I know they are very selective on who they work with also. You are an inspiration for myself, who is always toying with the possibility of working with an agent again. I think when an artist is really new they might not have as many bites as an experienced pro as yourself, however you offer many tips and things for them think about before moving to fast on the first agent that they find. Much success to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030744098884392568.post-26299367391203518132012-09-03T09:54:28.158-07:002012-09-03T09:54:28.158-07:00Congrats and good luck with the new agent!
