How much can an agent really help in dealing with a small press?
The small publisher of one of my novels is interested in the sequel, but I've been taken on by an agent in the meantime. I think he expects to be involved in negotiating the contract for the 2nd book...but will he be able to do enough good to justify his percentage? I wouldn't question the agent's value with a larger publisher, but is a small press a different story? Sometimes? Usually?
Thanks.
