How much will an agent cost me?

Agencies in general charge a 15 percent commission for the projects they sell, and a 20 percent commission for overseas sales. Of course, there are variations; many charge extra for the costs incurred in selling your work--postage, phone bills, photocopies, and various operational costs. Some agencies don’t take a percentage at all, rather charging by the hour. Some charge a reading fee.

 

What is the benefit of hiring an agency?

Writers create their work with the intent of seeing it in print or on screen. A literary agent serves as a writer’s contact with the publishing and entertainment industries. An agent approaches the publishers and producers likely to take an interest in your work, submits your proposal, and negotiates your contract.
