- About Me:
- A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Eric A. Smith cut his teeth as a reporter/photographer at the Beacon in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina.
Later, Smith moved to Vancouver, Canada, where he volunteered for a season as an associate editor of the world-famous Adbusters magazine. After studying the technical aspects of desktop publishing, Smith eventually opened his own sole proprietorship “Hot Damn Design”, where he freelanced as a digital graphics instructor, eventually teaching the entire graphics team of Pacific Press, western Canada’s largest newspaper publisher.
Writing is in Smith’s blood, it seems; his grandfather was the late NC Poet Laureate Sam Ragan, and his grandmother, Marjorie Ragan, was the first woman editor of the Wilmington Star News. Smith is currently a freelance editor, instructor and graphic designer in Tokyo. Since arriving in Tokyo, he has earned JLPT certification in Japanese and established Polyglot Studios, KK. His cats are Onion and Beebee.

Bloggerdeidre havrelock said… Editing, for one. A good agent (which means you must have the sense to identify not so good agents) can edit a book so that you tell not just a story but an interesting, well-organized and powerful story. This is the main reason I value agents. But, if you already know a great editor who loves working with you then ignore that point. Business advice, an agent knows the business more than I do and if you are looking at a hopefully looooong career (maybe with a movie to follow) you may need good advice someday. Larger print runs, many writers find small publishing houses and then end up with tiny print runs (which if you are going into the e-book business this doesn't matter so much), but if you still dream of having your hard copy book in bookstores then a large print run--from a bigger publisher--helps. Playing all the markets, I'm not against e-books, I love 'em. But having at least one book in the book stores, as opposed to all on Amazon, simply expands your market. So there you go...an agent can help. (smiley-face)

Bloggerdeidre havrelock said… Why would you want an agent? Why...why...why...I'm starting to wonder myself.

Bloggerdeidre havrelock said… Hi! Welcome to Book Blogs—if you are in the oftentimes horrific proposal / query letter process and are hunting for that elusive agent OR… if you have advice for newbies then join me at The Agent Challenge and leave me a comment. Also, I’m giving away the 2012 big book of agents or a book from one of our mentors. Drawing from followers at the end of December!
