We all know the real estate manta “location, location, location”. My question is, is true for agents as well?
So as I mentioned earlier, there are a number of agents reading my full manuscript at the moment. Most are headquartered in New York, but a couple are not. I personally don’t think location matters. I’m more concerned about finding an agent who loves my story and wants to work with me to perfect it, and of course sell it.
I was chatting with a published writer over the weekend, who claimed she wouldn’t even query anyone outside of New York. This prompted a long debate. Her point being that access to publishing houses is critical. That agents outside of the area aren’t able to foster relationships with editors. My point being that we live in a digital age. Maybe historically that was true, but not today.
I’m solid in my position. Chime in if you have some other compelling reason I should be swayed.
