This part is generally between 10 and 20%. This ensures that the agent works in the best interests of the author, as their remuneration entirely depends on the literary success of the author!<\/p>\n<p>Each agent is specialised in a different field. Here at R\u00eaves de jeunesse, we come from a publishing background and have a specific interest in reworking the text and accompanying the author through their creative and writing process. Other agents might be more interested in the legal aspect of the work and will be champions at negotiating contracts. Some might be very social medias oriented with a love for marketing and promotion. It is very important that you find the agent that works for YOU!\nIf you are interested in working with us, please clarify your expectations in your very first email: we will always ask you what you want in an agent before going any further. \nPlease note that while we do work with english speaking authors, we are primarily oriented toward the french publishing market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un agent litteraire, qu&rsquo;est ce que c&rsquo;est ?
