The Writers' Coffeehouse : Forum : I need an Agent


I need an Agent

10 Years Ago


Prior to starting my trek toward my doctorate, I used to write 2 newspaper columns and had a 30 minute cable television program dealing with alternative lifestyles. I had many presentations at various professional conferences.

Now that I am retired on disability, I have time to begin writing again.

I am seeking an agent that deals with magazine articles, and other writing assignments.

Can any of you direct me to a reliable, honest agent?

You're asking for something that's almost impossible to find. First of all, magazine articles don't offer enough money for the agent to spend his time. Commissions of low payments just isn't good business. Apart from that, today agents seek established writers -- often stealing them from other agents -- and the competition is fierce. I`'m sorry to be so discouraging but it's better to hear the truth.
