Great advice from an agent

Jim McCarthy over at Dystel & Goderich has a terrific post up about his reading process. It is really worth taking a look at.

    That was a nice commentary. Helpful. I wish some agent folks would find my work that good.

    I like Jim McCarthy. I once entered two novels in a literary conferance contest and I was fortunate to win first and second. Jim McCarthy was the judge.

    Sure he later rejected me but I don't hold that agaisnt him., and he gave me some great feedback onmy full.
