... I can't believe that people would discrimination on grounds of health. What matters, generally speaking, is that she has an excellent track record for such a young agent.
Conversely, I had a wonderfully healthy agent who couldn't sell sh**
Well, I haven't had an agent yet, but I'll say this: Ms. Rappaport seems like a humorous, attentive, and caring person, and I think that’s a powerful starting point for a successful author-client relationship. That her track record also appears successful is another point in her favor. Her apparent illnesses strike me as irrelevant at best, and I agree with the previous poster’s disdain for such discrimination.
As for me, I’m not looking for an agent to springboard me to the next level just so that I can jump ship for a "superstar" agent who strolls in after all the hard work is done. I could be wrong, but Ms. Rappaport strikes me as someone who would be loyal and watch out for the best interests of her clients. I suspect the same cannot be said for many agents, especially the ones I’ve interacted with on a limited basis in the past.
Just my two-cents.
Oh, and her cat looks terrific. Just saying...
