The Shocking Truth About Whether You Really Need an Agent Revealed!
Most indie authors don’t have agents. The reason is because most indie authors have nothing for an agent to do.
Hybrid authors (authors who publish both traditionally and independently) typically have agents because they typically need an agent for their work with traditional publishers. But hybrid authors need to have an agreement with their agent about their indie work, just to avoid misunderstandings.
I started life as a traditionally published author and worked my way through three agents.

So after his death, I terminated my contract with his agency because I thought I no longer needed an agent.
