Love this Kate! How would we see a record of an agent's recent deals? On their website or is there a better space to research that?

These are cataloged (when reported by the agent or editor) on publishersmarketplace.com, which you can access with a subscription

Hey Kate that adult novel is fab. Haven't you got a writer in-house who can run with it? Cuz if you don't, I know one who can : )

Kate, I so appreciate your drilling down. Btw, this week I found the perfect agent for me, and I've signed with her: Lisa Bankoff! Twelve agents read my ms before Lisa, including you (thank you!)
