Seriously. Michele's books sound incredibly intriguing, even though I have never really "related" to vampires. But I did like Stephenie Meyer's vampires. I admired the visuals in the movie Nosferatu. Anyway, I appreciate Michele's comments. There definitely isn't anything magical about creating a good novel, whether it involves vampires or not!!<br /><br />Thanks for hosting Michele!!!<br /><a href="http://annbest-jen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Best, Long Journey Home</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209800503497208215.post-81129071064491456692010-12-11T08:51:23.691-08:002010-12-11T08:51:23.691-08:00What a great interview!

You can sell to Harlequin without an agent. I sold to Luna unagented. By the time I started writing Nocturnes, I had an agent, and had her agent a few of those category romances. But after a few contracts, I felt confident that I could negotiate my own category sales, and now my agent only does my single title stuff (HQN). I would say an agent is very valuable in helping to learn and understand a contract. Often, there are not a lot of points an agent can negotiate for on a category contract, but there are a few. <br />For any author who has an agent or not, and makes a sale, I highly recommend you read the entire contract through. Do not rely on your agent to vet the contract, then hand it to you just to sign. You must read it all, and understand it all. If you have an agent, ask her about anything in the contract you do not understand. If not agented, ask your editor about points you do not understand. Never sign anything until you know exactly what it is you're signing.Michele Haufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255612473985897103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209800503497208215.post-59523957571454667682010-12-10T10:46:09.793-08:002010-12-10T10:46:09.793-08:00Great interview, ladies, and wonderful advice.
