Talking about the great agent search, here’s a writer with a spin on something as old as publishing — who’s the boss, and how to view the “interview” process.

I think she has it just right — humor is the only way to deal with the insanity of this business. It has held writers in good stead since the invention of the printing press. Maybe before.

As I read her spin on the process, I couldn’t help thinking about matchmakers and how they have been supplanted by Match.com and the electronic version of matchmakers. Is it possible that in some distant future, writers will send out electronic drones to find the “perfect” agent match?

Hmmm. I should do an experiment with Google Alerts. Search terms: excellent, literary agent, enthusiastic, ecletic, likes chocolate and witches. LOL. I don’t know if the future of publishing is ready for that. I know I’m not!
