Talking today about literary agents, how that power dynamic works, and why authors should absolutely ask all the questions they like. Also about the writing community, generosity-and a smattering about the Irish diaspora.

My agent, Sarah Younger of Nancy Yost Literary Agency, is here (http://www.nyliterary.com/team.php?c=sarah&b=s).

More thoughts on Joker, resistance, and authoritarian spin. Plus happier reports on wedding anniversaries, movable feasts, maybe plotting, and further thoughts on agents and multi-book contracts.

Thoughts on choosing an agent, especially as regards creative choices. Also choosing which ideas are good ones, whether inspiration & opportunity hang around, and visiting with a sorority sister.

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog

Our topic at the SFF Seven this week is our most frequent story starter — idea, milieu, character, theme, what-if, trope, editor request, etc. Come on over to find out why this is a practical decision for me.

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!

A morning conversation with a career-author friend has me thinking and talking about agents, agencies, and how to choose what's best for you. Introducing my restaurant-analogy of literary agencies. Also random mentions of bobcats, Neil Gaiman and how writing novels is like laying bricks in a road.

Touching back to yesterday's discussion of dealing with agents, how publishing is a small community - and how your agent might listen to your podcast when you complain about her! But all is good, and a shout-out to Sarah Younger of Nancy Yost Literary Agency for being awesome in all ways. The other agent mentioned is Joanna Volpe.
