There has been some discussion in the Colony lately about marketing and publicity - specifically how much of that an author does when they self-publish, or when their book is published by a traditional publisher. Some of that discussion has revolved around how much of that marketing and publicity an agent does. Because of this discussion, I've decided to post articles that define what an agent does, and does not do. Happy reading.
