Sad news of the loss of a prolific writer. It’s been said he wrote his books longhand on legal pads with pencil.

His novels were filled with violence and thrills — airline hijackings, nuclear threats — as well as snappy dialogue and droll humor.

If your goal is to get into a traditional publishing house, an agent will be vital to your success in getting in the door. Hybrid or partner publishing companies like us don't require an agent.

An agent can be helpful for services like contract reviews, established connections, and brand building. If you have a high-stakes publishing deal then an agent would also be helpful to bring peace of mind in navigating details and managing expectations.

Literary agents are a gold mine of expertise and knowledge which can be very helpful in developing your career as a professional writer. That said, they aren't always necessary and each publishing company has a different outlook on them. Usually, the publisher will indicate on their website whether they only take agented submissions.

If you choose to pursue your writing career on your own, you'll likely save money you would have paid out in commissions to an agent and some publishers provide brand building and other marketing services to help you.

At Wilt and Wade, we review each manuscript and meet with each author to determine each author's needs.
