So now that I’ve talked about how to become and agent (Part 1, go here) and also how the role of the agent is changing (go here), I'd like to also delve a little bit into how agents do what we do. So there are jobs and there are careers, right? And neither is better than the other. It all depends what you want and where you’re going and how you’re getting there. Well, in this post, I am going to focus solely on the career side of things. Because in this business, that’s what it’s about. (And when I say business, I mean book publishing—and clearly there are jobs in book publishing that don’t NEED to lead into a career path, but I’m focusing on the ones that do, which are many.)
