I accidentally found out while surfing the web a few months ago that agent Lucienne Diver<\/a> is also a writer (in case you’re wondering, the link leads to her writer’s website, not her agenting website). (Want her agenting website<\/a>, too? Sheesh! Okay, okay!). She’s represented by Kristin Nelson<\/a>, has a couple of short stories and a novel with Five Star published under the name, Kit Daniels. Her first novel as Lucienne Diver, VAMPED, releases this year.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0already knew\u00a0that agent Roberta Brown<\/a> publishes as Kate Angell<\/a>, and Deidre Knight<\/a> publishes as, well, herself.<\/a> I know there are other agents out there who are also published writers, but their names escape me at the moment.<\/p>\n

Some authors are dead-set against having an agent who writes. I confess I used to think that way, too. Now, my concern is much more along the lines of how would OUR author\/agent relationship work and thrive regardless of whether the agent is also a writer or not?\u00a0Personally, I would not discount an agent who writes, but I know there’s another viewpoint.
