Not sure if this is the right place, or if I should try the B&BC board...
A year or so ago, I remember reading some discussion of an agent who was specializing in placing books with e-publishers. Can anyone remember this agent's name, or her agency? I wanted to look her up to see if she was making good sales and/or representing authors I know of, but I couldn't remember her name.
In more general terms, and asking either agents or authors (or publishers, I guess)... what do you think about this idea? I know e-publishers are as inundated with submissions as other publishers are, so I can see why they might like to install gatekeepers. But with the generally lower income from e-book-only publishing, is there enough money to make this niche worthwhile for an agent while still paying authors for their work?
I'm just playing the 'predict the future' game with the e-book-only industry, and wondering whether agents have a future there.
