Thank you for allowing me to express my view about engaging a writers' agent.Have read this column for ones, your negative opinion about engaging a writer's or author's agent is viewed positive, conclusive and concrete by me.

I can understand your technical idea of engaging a writer's agent but it is rather,an absurd thing to do. Though, it is possibly an idea that could be welcome by cobweb writers or authors in the act.

Since, diverse authors and writers creatively exists. A gifted author or writer is building or contructing certain ideas which he is expressively trying to make known to the public in his works. So, the writer or author who is not a cobweb should strictly be preserving his work from the intermidiary of an agent who, might be a gooseberry to his work or a jerry worker.

After the writer's work has been properly arranged ,that is editorial and expression wise

the question is all solved. There after , it is only the services of a good, trust worthy and efficient publisher that should come in.There shouldn't be any reason why his work should be pushed about by any. Therefore, it is the writer or the author that must beat it with his work for the right publisher to come in.

In the workshop the writer or the author should be a beat it and not a beat up, a gerrymander; a turn round and a turn about person.

Like you Adrian my thoughts are what on earth is Ken talking about. It sounds like someone who doesn't have any idea how things work.
