Whether you are a published author or simply thinking about writing a book, the question on whether to have an agent secure a publishing deal for you, or if you should self publish always comes up. Before making an informed decision, it’s helpful to have more information about it.
To that end, I conducted an interview with a major New York literary agent, Denise Marcil. Denice is the owner of the Denise Marcil Literary Agency, which has merged with Anne Marie O’Farrell to create Marcil O’Farrell Literary. If you’d like to understand more about how to get an agent, and then what to do once you have one, you are at the right place.
