Day 147: A Day in the Life of a Book Agent

The Prompt:  You’re a book agent.  Describe your day.

Once I get to my office, I look over my calendar to see which clients I have today.  Then, I check emails and send some responses.  I'm working on a getting together with a potential client.  He's been emailing me his ideas for his book, and I've just set up a meeting with him to see him in person.  Once I'm done with that, I prepare for my meeting with a publisher to try to sell my client's book.  I am writing out a persuasive list of arguments of why the publisher should choose the book.  For lunch, I eat at a bistro with a co-worker.  Afterwards, I brainstorm with another client on what our next move should be.  To conclude my day at work, I read a manuscript that was delivered to me.
