Should I tell an agent up front that I have cerebral palsy? I've been advised not to, on the theory that that would give an agent an easy way out. On the other hand, it's a significant part of the package the agent would be representing.
Thank you all for your input.
It's interesting. I put this in the "Ask The Agent" section hoping for insight from a flesh and blood agent, but so far, I seem to be hearing only from fellow writers.
Some of you have counseled the CP thing should be brought up in the first phone call with the agent. Well, my speech is poor because of the CP, and I can't really use the phone. Would agents and editors shy from my novels if my participation in marketing them would necessarily be limited?
