“Art of Agenting”
In an interview for Guernica Jonathan Lee talks to Chris Parris-Lamb, the literary agent who represented Chad Harbach‘s The Art of Fielding, John Darnielle‘s National Book Award-nominated Wolf in White Van, and now our very own Garth Risk Hallberg‘s upcoming City on Fire, about “The Art of Agenting.” Pair with our own Edan Lepucki‘s conversation with her agent, “Don’t Ever Do It for the Money,” and with the opening lines of City on Fire, a Millions exclusive.

Please correct the spelling of my name. (see above). We bloggers don;’t get paid so insisting that our names be spelled correctly is the least that can come our way.
Appreciate it.
Thanks,
Stephen J. Gertz
Fixed. Our most sincere apologies. Thanks for visiting.
I’m very sorry about that! I linked in haste. I enjoyed the post.
You know what they say, Lydia: Link in haste, repent at leisure : )
Also: did I actually recommend Vollmann to you?
