Wonderful, encouraging, insightful, and fun post about being an agent. I love hearing it from your perspective, as opposed to a writer's (and we writers do tend to moan and groan a lot about getting an agent). Good for you, for admitting that finding the right writer takes instinct and luck. That's how I find the best things in my life too!

Very glad that Triangle Writers was a bridge for your connection with Barbara. I bet if Borders was still in business she would have had a reading there too to commemorate your meeting! Looking forward to more of her books and your talent for discovering the area's literary gold.

In reply to Laura Drake. Thank for asking me Laura! I know it is really frustrating for writers who are trying to break in and can't seem to find a door. I think the point that I want to make is that there really is no single way to do anything in this business. It is all subjective to some degree and sometimes the most successful people are those who find the most interesting ways to break the "rules." Thanks too for sharing your success story with other writers. You rock!

I imagine the toughest part about being an agent is having to turn down great work because the market is wrong or the timing is bad or some other factor that has nothing to do with the author's talent. I'm glad someone is willing to get out there and do it!

First, I have to say I love your name. My mother-in-law's name is Nalani and she loves your name a ton! Second, thanks for the post from an agent's point of view. Sometimes it's a bit tempting to see the first gatekeeper as a block to our goals rather than an individual, but I've met a few agents, and now I know you just keep looking until you find the one who loves and champions your books. :)

Nalini, thanks so much for making the time to blog with us here at WITS, and also for helping our Laura make a splash. It's been a very fun journey to watch.

All I know is when I query, you're on my list. 🙂
