I'm in a situation that I never thought I'd find myself in: I have a book deal, but I don't have an agent.
Things seem to be going okay as far as understanding the contracts I'm signing, communications, etc. Do I really need to try to find an agent at this point? I'm writing my second book now, and I was going to pitch it to my current publisher when I'm done. If they don't want it, I was planning on using it to query agents again at that time.
Does that sound like a good plan? Or, should I be looking for an agent now? If I could just do it on my own, I'd rather... It seems easier than having another person to take some of my money. However, this is all very new to me.
Has anyone else been in this position?
