In this episode of Your Path to Publish, we dive into a crucial question for authors pursuing the traditional publishing route: How much do you pay a literary agent? 

We'll explore not only the cost but also the value that literary agents bring to the table, the benefits of working with them, and how to ensure you're getting a good fit for your book and career.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

  • What a literary agent does and how they help you land a traditional publishing deal
  • The typical commission structure for literary agents (hint: it’s usually on both of your advance and royalties)
  • The red flags to watch out for when evaluating agents, especially when it comes to fees
  • Key questions to ask when deciding if a literary agent is a good fit for you
  • How to find the right literary agent for your genre and goals
