Why agents don’t return calls: Part 3

We last examined why it is that agents don’t return phone calls. But
another question remains: What can authors do to make themselves more
pleasing to agents?

We spoke with agent Paul Cirone with the Friedrich Agency who
explained there is no excuse for an agent not to return a client’s
call. “If your agent isn’t calling you back, it’s not the client
that has to change. I think the agent has the issue. If a writer who is signed on with an agent isn’t getting their calls returned, they need to examine that relationship.”

He went on to disclose, “Every client I work with I’ve signed on for a reason. Namely, I believe in their work. If the agent you are working with is not working with you, that’s something to look at.”

But what can a writer do if they feel they are being neglected? In our next report we will discuss key tips on how to turn such a situation around in your favor.
