Ahhh the eternal question. Here I attempt to answer it by relating how I got my agent and giving you some advice about how you can work towards one too!
Really interesting Lauren. As a UK scriptwriter, the agents here do similar but some agents don't read and give notes. I've had 2 agents and neither have read and given notes beyond - I love it. But I know writers who get REAMS of feedback from their agents before they send stuff out to producers. Oh and our TV/Film agents are just called agents not literary agents!
As always, an insightful and informative look at the machinations of this business. All your subscribers should be pleased with your content. I know I am.

So fascinating! Yeah it could also just vary agent to agent in terms of how much feedback they give!

You are far too kind, Dick! Thanks so much for always reading. I appreciate it (and you!) so much.
