This post is a little hard to write, but because it's happened to me several times in the past few months as well as for many of my agented friends, I'd like to throw this out into the universe. When a writer signs with an agent and/or sells their first book they may sometimes find themselves a little more popular with the aspiring authors they knew way-back-when. I'm a firm believer in paying it forward, but passing along a referral simply isn't enough to land someone an agent these days - blood must spill and it shouldn't come from the writer who's bled already.
