286 Flo Sandelson | Literary Agent

Yeah.

I, my, my assumption was that it was because the most likely time for an author to split with an agent or to look for a different representation would be if they couldn't find a deal.

So it would kind of be easier for everyone if that just never appeared on the page and, you know, if they decided to part ways.

Yeah.

That's interesting.

I think we, um, I have a couple of clients where we haven't yet been able to to find them a home for their book.

And I think that, I don't know, I feel like it happens.

I don't know so much about where else it happens in the industry, but it happens quite rarely here.

I think that we would ever stop working with a client just because we couldn't find it.

It would usually be the other way around, I think.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think it's usually, it's usually more on the author side where they're like, I actually don't think this is working.

I want to go in a different direction.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was actually talking to Mike Lawson the other day who decided that after years of dying on submission, he decided that actually he wanted to try indie publishing and he was like, no animosity, but like I messaged my agent and I was like, look, this is, I've changed what I think of success.

So this is how I want to do that, which I think is perfectly fine.

Yeah, definitely.

No animosity in there.

A hundred percent.

And I think the indie route is so interesting and it's kind of got the ability to be more lucrative than ever.

Yes.
