I'm a student at Lake Superior College and for my Ethics class, we have to do a research project on our chosen professions. I'm hoping to become a Literary Agent when I'm done with school.

For this project, all I need is an agent to take maybe a half hour out of their time to tell me about an ethical dilemma they've faced at work. If you are an agent and would be willing to discuss this with me, please reply to this and I can send you my email address.

I would really appreciate it if you're able to help me out! Thank you for your time!

Amanda, this fits better in our Ask the Expert section, so I'm going to move it there: but I suspect your best bet would be to approach a few agents on Twitter. It's a very good place to engage.

Step one: go to querytracker.net (it's free) and look up some agents. The ones who are on Twitter will be listed there.

Step two: pick a few who have posted recently and be polite :)
