What Happens When We Treat Agents and Publishers as Genuine Partners | Jane Friedman If you write material outside your agent’s wheelhouse, don’t be afraid of making an unagented pitch. Each success is a win-win for both of you.

@clairepolders.bsky.social discusses taking things into her own hands despite having an agent.

Yes!
