UNSOLICITED, STEEPED IN OPINION, PUBLISHING JOB ADVICE THREAD--INCOMING!
If you want to be a literary agent, especially one that works on commission, please do the financial math first. This math includes...
--how much do you need to earn & how quickly?
--what is your cut of the sale (5%, 7.5%,10%?)
--how many books must you sell & for how much money for that cut to equal a livable wage? (Trick question: you control how many you sell or how much they go for!)
