13 things you may not know about literary agents

I've seen this article by Chuck Sambuchino before, but I thought that it might be of solace to those Colonists who have been putting themselves through the submission process.

Read these 13 things about them though, and you'll come to appreciate that they're actually warm, cuddly creatures with feelings too - though that he chose 13 things feels a bit loaded to me.
