I'm going to fire my agent next week. Without going into too many details, let's just say that I've been with them for a year and I've come to realize it's not a very good fit. I've got a new manuscript and I'd like a fresh start with it.
I'm a bit anxious about this. I hate confrontation and I'm not crazy about awkward conversations either. Not to say that this will turn into a confrontation or even be awkward, but you never know. Also, this was my first agent. There's still a little piece of me that thinks that an agent I'm not entirely happy with is better than no agent at all. But I need to quell that voice. Ultimately I gotta do what I feel is best for myself and my career. Right?
Those who've been through this before, any advice? Any stories you'd like to share? Horror stories or stories where it all went swimmingingly?
