If you’ve been looking for an agent to represent you, it’s a significant event when a contract for representation arrives in your inbox. You should congratulate yourself on having achieved it.
I wrote a guest post for The Write Life about understanding and negotiating the terms of a contract with a literary agent.
In Signing With a Literary Agent? Here’s What Should Be in Your Contract, I explain basic provisions of an agent’s contract. You should be comfortable with and understand all of the terms before you sign a contract. This article will help you when that agent’s contract arrives for your review and signature.
