Recommended Reading: February, 2022

The Business Rusch: Agents (Surviving the Transition Part 3)

The Business Rusch: Agents (Surviving The Transition Part Three) Kristine Kathryn Rusch   I had a dream, as recently as six months ago, that agents would help writers through this transition in publishing.  I believed that agents would band together and fight to the death for the best possible terms in a contract for every writer. If agents had done that, the e-rights clauses I […]
