Miss Snark, the Literary Agent
So  2006 is the year you're going to finally write that novel. Write on, Shakespeare. But once you finish, if you want to see your masterpiece on the recommended shelf, you better get yourself an agent. Not just any literary agent. Make it one who swills gin from a pail, wears stiletto heels, and carries an unhealthy obsession with George Clooney. Make it Miss Snark. If she can't (or won't) be your agent, she'll at least answer your questions about the quandaries of getting published. Some things you'll learn from Miss Snark... - Don't quit until you get at least 100 rejections.
- Keep your eyes on the Crap-o-Meter as often as you can.
- Just 'cause it's got cowboys, don't mean it's a Western.
- If you're good-looking, try nonfiction.
- Damn the snark, just get your writing out there.
