Landing an agent: before you sign
Landing an agent is a huge step for any author – and a huge achievement! When submitting, it can feel like the chances are tiny, and it’s a great thing to find an agent who wants to represent your manuscript.

This is a great chance to chat face to face and make sure there’s a rapport. It’s also an opportunity to ask any questions you might have, and to gain a stronger idea of how they operate as an agent.
