I'm giving a bit of a run-down today on how literary agents and agencies work: the significance (or lack thereof) of job titles, how they get paid and other important things authors should know. Also a bit about the metaphysical aspects of creative energy. Oh, and bobcat depredations in the secret garden. All part of the brand here at First Cup of Coffee!
