So say the exciting day has finally come: an agent calls you to offer you representation. Do you know what questions you should ask them about their agency and their plans for your manuscript? Have you come up with a set of questions that will help you know if the agent works in a style you can get along with? Do you even know what you should do next? Here are several links that should help.
