Most writers agree that getting an agent is as difficult as landing a publisher. But just any agent won’t do. In fact, a bad agent can set your career back by years, and cost you serious money. So, when I started working with Suzie Townsend a little over a year ago, I could not have been more thrilled. She’s organized, thorough, enthusiastic, well-informed, a great editor, and an equally strong communicator. But most importantly, Suzie likes and believes in my writing. She understands what I’m trying to accomplish and pushes me when I don’t pull it off (but those nudges are oh so tactful!). She gives me the information that I need and want in order to make informed choices and she’s respectful of those choices once I make them. In short, she’s wonderful, and although she hasn’t sold anything for me yet, I don’t doubt that she will. So, when she contacted me a couple of weeks ago to let me know that she was moving from FinePrint Literary to Nancy Coffey, following her was a no-brainer. So congratulations on your new home Suzie, and congratulations to my new agency, Nancy Coffey Literary & Media Representation. I don’t doubt that you’ll be as thrilled to be working with Suzie Townsend as I am.
