A few months ago I received a note from a former student of mine. A literary agent had read her first published story and wanted to meet to discuss her work. This should have been cause for celebration. But my former student was in a state of near panic at the thought that she might make a poor impression.
I attempted to point out the obvious: that it was she, the writer, who was in the position to judge. The agent was, after all, her potential employee. My former student said she understood, but sounded totally unconvinced.
In fact, most of the young writers I know go into anxiety overdrive when it comes to agents. They seem to feel that the acquisition of an agent is the essential first step to a successful writing career.
To be sure, agents can be tremendously helpful to the writers they represent; initially, by instilling them with confidence and helping them sharpen their vision of a particular project; later by providing access to the daunting world of editors. In the best instance, they act as advocates, negotiating advances, helping generate press, or arguing for the right cover image. They deal with the business aspects of publishing, so their writers can concentrate on the creative side.
I have several friends who consider their agents invaluable, and I’m not about to argue against this enthusiasm. What I do want to argue, though, is that the agent’s role in publishing is really secondary to the central work, which is the writing and editing of books. And more so, that the dependence on agents is, itself, symptomatic of pretty much everything that’s wrong with modern publishing: it places the emphasis not on the creation of art, but on the conveyance of a profitable product to market.
As you might assume, I do not have an agent.
I find myself announcing this fact with alarming frequency, because virtually any time I talk with another writer, one of their first questions out of their mouth is: who’s your agent?
This seems sad to me. But even sadder is the reaction my disclosure elicits: a kind of bemused pity. Fellow writers almost always assume that I don’t have an agent because I can’t find one. Often, generously, they offer to help me out. I then have to explain that I don’t have an agent because I don’t want one, which causes them even more confusion.
Indeed, for most writers the very notion of going without an agent carries a kind of stigma, because writers – particularly less experienced writers—tend to view their agents as a badge of legitimacy.
I find this notion offensive. As writers, our sole badge of legitimacy should be the work we publish, nothing more, nothing less. The question of agents (as well as how much our last advance was, or which house publishes us) really boils down status-mongering. It has nothing to do with art.
In my experience, in fact, agents have much less to do with a writer’s success than they would like to suppose. All they can do, in the end, is get a manuscript read slightly faster.
I give my former agent some credit, though: at least she was willing to take me on. Most agents are reluctant to send out short stories, either individually or as a collection. They are, instead, forever focused on the novel. And so they urge young writers to think about writing a novel (or at least a linked set of stories). This can be good advice. It can push a young author toward a more cohesive vision of the world, or a more ambitious approach. But that is not generally why agents push this agenda. They push this agenda because novels fetch larger advances.
I myself started writing a novel at the behest of my former agent, and wound up spending more than a year writing a terrible book. This was my fault, obviously. But in retrospect, I see quite clearly that I wasn’t ready to write a novel, that I bowed to external pressures—the demands of the market, as represented by my agent—rather than following my own instincts.
I also sent out a second collection of stories, which was greeted with even less enthusiasm. One agent recommended that I write “a crime novel…get one of your obsessive romantic protagonists involved in something via a missing girlfriend.” This note should be enough to illustrate the peril of allowing agents to give creative advice.
Another agent read this second collection of stories and seemed eager to represent the book—until she checked the sales figures of my first book of stories, at which point she withdrew her interest. At least she was candid about her motives.
But this is precisely the point: the foremost issue for agents is not whether a piece of writing has literary merit, but whether it will sell. This is how they keep score. It’s an awfully boring way to keep score, in my view, and, more importantly, it’s entirely antithetical to the true purposes of literature, which is intended to move people, not product.
I am not suggesting that agents are without artistic concerns. After all, they have chosen to represent writers, not supermodels or athletes. In the ideal world, most agents would rather represent books they consider great art. But faced with a celebrity murder mystery versus a quietly devastating book of short stories (or, God forbid, poems) which do you think most agents would choose?
Nonetheless, the rejections I received hit me quite hard. I almost gave up on both projects. In fact, I probably would have, if it weren’t for friends of mine—other writers—who read portions of the books in question and ordered me to soldier on.
Just as important, several editors had expressed interest in seeing my next project. I met a few at readings, or conferences. A couple of others wrote to me, after reading my work. Actually, by the time I got in touch with them, they had all read at least a little of my work. And that’s precisely what I wanted: to get on their radar. Not to schmooze them up at a fancy party, and pretend we had a connection. But to establish a relationship based on the work.
I realize that not every writer is in a position to meet editors at readings or conferences, or to direct them to published work. But I do want to emphasize that each and every one of these editors—despite what the agents assumed—was eager to see my new work. Because all editors really want, in the end, is to find terrific books. They don’t care where those books come from.
So I did the unthinkable: I sent them both books directly. Over the next couple of weeks, I talked to these editors and settled on the one I felt most believed in the books. I’m sure an agent could have gotten me a better deal. But my chief concern wasn’t the advance. I just wanted to find an editor (and publisher) who believed passionately in my work. My logic was simple: if the house truly supports the book, it will make money down the road. As for the contract, I read it carefully, asked my editor a few pointed questions, and showed it to a few friends. It was clearly the standard author contract.
I don’t mean to make all this sound effortless. But I do want to suggest that the real sweat equity wasn’t what some agent might have done for me. It was the eight years I spent working to improve my prose and putting it into the world. And that is why I tell the young writers I meet not to waste their precious energies fretting over agents. If you write compelling stories, and books, and send them out into the world, they will find a home. Not immediately, but eventually, and inevitably.
From time to time I read accounts of agents who pluck authors from obscurity and help make them famous. Young writers tend to find such pieces intoxicating, because they are experiencing, first hand, just how baffling and fraught with rejection the world of publishing is. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if fame and fortune were simply a matter of finding the right representative?
What I never seem to read about in the literary press is the far more common scenario, in which a young writer invests her hope in an agent and it doesn’t work out. We only get to hear about the famous, or the semi-famous, who are, of course, elaborately thankful to their agents.
But it’s the less experienced writers, that vast category of the not-yet-profitable, who are the most fragile, who hand their hearts over to agents and stew for hours about an unanswered email, when they should be at the keyboard attempting to love their characters.
Part of the allure of getting an agent, of course, is the fantasy that your career will suddenly become easier to manage. For the most part, though, all agents do is add another layer of emotional bureaucracy to the process of submission. Rather than worrying about hearing from editors, you get to worry about hearing—or not hearing—from your agent.
Every time I go to a writer’s conference, I hear the same set of complaints: my agent won’t return my calls, my agent has given up on me, my agent isn’t getting my work out there.
To be sure, complaint is the lingua franca of the literary world. We are all desperately seeking our little slice of attention from a culture that is largely indifferent to art. Agents are not to be blamed for this larger circumstance.
But they are part of a system that is predicated on keeping writers in a state of insecure dependence. Because, after all, the role the agents play is fundamentally parasitic. They do not do the dogged, lonely work of writing, or editing. They merely usher art into the gilded halls of commerce. They broker.
I can think of no other reason why certain agents would treat their writers with such disregard. Yes, they may be busy. But too busy to take two minutes out of their schedule to return a phone call, or an email? Too busy to explain what the blizzard of numbers on a royalty statement means? Please.
The ugly truth of it is that agents do best when their clients feel needy. They don’t want writers to take on the burdens of negotiation, or to learn too much about their own contracts, or, especially, to pitch editors directly. They want writers to believe that agents are the only ones who can set up a closed auction, or sell foreign rights, or provide that magical gateway to otherwise inaccessible editors.
Agents would argue that the process sometimes has to be adversarial, that it’s their job to get their clients the best deal. But the best deal to them really means the biggest advance, and that isn’t always in the interest of a writer. Because along with that advance comes an expectation of profitability. And should the book fail to earn back, it is the author—not the agent—who suffers next time around. They are the ones after all, who will be labeled as bad economic risks.
To be clear: I don’t view agents as willfully harmful. The best of them work hard on behalf of their clients, and earn their cut. As noted, there are many writers who, understandably, seek to insulate themselves from the business side of publishing, who have no phone manner, or don’t want to worry about getting ripped off. They are happy to surrender fifteen percent of their hard-earned dough to agents, and well they should be.

On November 7th, US Ambassador to India, Mr. Richard Verma, visited Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi temple in Delhi. After offering pushpanjali to Srila Prabhupada and an arati to Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Partha-sarati, he was taken on a guided tour of the museum by Gopal Krishna Goswami. The Ambassador was very keen on knowing the full story of Srila Prabhupada and how he established ISKCON.
Cardinal Tauran writes “As Christians and Hindus, may we join all people of good will in supporting marriage and family life, and inspiring families to be schools of hope."
On October 4th, in Rome, Italy, an extraordinary event took place at the House of Representatives of the Italian Parliament. The opportunity for ISKCON to acquire national visibility in such an important setting is a huge step towards to finally officially recieve the status of a "religious movement" from the Italian government along with the rights to maintain chaplancies in hospitals and schools, to be exempt from some taxes, and to receive tax donations.
Around 200 people attended the European event at the prestigious Bozar Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels on September 27th. The evening was entitled “Fostering Peace and Cultural Diversity in Europe through Service, Community and Spiritual Knowledge: The Hare Krishna Movement Turns 50!” Attendees included the Indian Ambassador to Belgium and the EU, Manjeev Singh Puri; Mauritian Ambassador Mr H. Dillum; Fijian Ambassador Mr Deo Saran; and Ugo Papi, the Advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Italy.
The mythical Saraswati forms the Hindu holy triumvirate along with the Ganga and Yamuna, and the hypothetical confluence of these three rivers in Allahabad is the source of humanity’s biggest gathering every 12 years during the Kumbh Mela.
“I remember being on a ship to New York and hearing that some Americans didn’t want to let us in because there were Nazi spies among us."
As soon as the Muslims finished the prayer, they embraced and hugged the Sikh, Hindu and Christian community members.
The U.S. Postal Service will commemorate the joyous Hindu festival of Diwali with a Forever stamp. The Oct 5, first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony will take place at the Consulate General of India, New York.
A Hare Krishna adherent has become the first person to be charged under Russia's new law restricting sharing beliefs. Anti-extremism police in Karachai-Cherkessiya arrested 19-year-old Vadim Sibiryev.
Indian Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi has congratulated ISKCON on its 50th anniversary, praising its accomplishments in a way that shows a strong understanding of ISKCON's core message and efforts. We hope its Founder-Acarya Srila Prabhupada, who always tried to reach the leaders of society, is pleased.
Pope Francis walked in the footsteps of his two predecessors as he visited the former extermination camp at Auschwitz, where he paid silent homage to the more than one million victims.
"Our loyalty also lies with India, this being the country that accepted us almost 2,500 years ago, and one of the only countries in the world which never persecuted the Jews in all these years,” Mr. Samuel said.
Muslim organizations and activists across the US have spoken out against the shooting, explicitly calling it a hate crime.
George Harrison embraced Hinduism in 1969 after a meeting with Swami Prabhupada.. He recalled that the impact of the meeting was similar to a door opening in his sub-conscious.
Europe is currently facing the type and breadth of challenges that have not been seen for a generation: mass migration, the threat of terrorism, and political and economic problems in many countries.

The waters of Cabo Verde off the coast of West Africa hold one of the last remaining hotspots for sharks in the North Atlantic Ocean containing more than 60 elasmobranch (shark, skate, and ray) species. In spite of this, the region is also one of the least researched sites.
In 2015, OTN deployed 18 acoustic receivers in a Cabo Verdean ocean area believed to have a large aggregation of Atlantic weasel sharks. Due to the high fishing pressure along the West African coastline, Cabo Verde is thought to be an important stronghold for this enigmatic species, which inhabits the inshore waters of western Africa. The high productivity of this ocean region in conjunction with the ability to study and protect habitats means it could offer some degree of sanctuary for threatened shark species.
During a follow-up mission in December 2016, OTN field personnel successfully fitted 14 Atlantic weasel sharks with internally implanted Vemco V13 acoustic tags, as well as external marker tags. Additionally, nine nurse sharks were fitted with external marker tags.
Sharks are among the most threatened wildlife on the planet, particularly in the Atlantic and even more so off the coast of West Africa. Although some researchers have highlighted methods for sustainable shark fishing, evidence suggests that the worldwide decline in sharks is triggered by a high demand for shark fins combined with unsustainable fishing practices, which lack adequate management and garner unwanted accidental catches – such as those in Cabo Verde.
The team, made up of OTN field technician, Joe Pratt, Dalhousie PhD student, Manuel Dureuil, and Dalhousie University Director of Animal Care, Dr. Chris Harvey-Clark spent three weeks in the field working with partner organizations including: Biosfera, the Instituto Nacional do Desenvolvimento das Pescas, the University of Cabo Verde, and Maio Biodiversity Foundation.
By using weasel sharks as an umbrella species, researchers hope to raise awareness for sharks in the West African region where detailed scientific information is scarce, preventing science-based management efforts. This study also provides the opportunity to train local researchers on non-lethal catch and minimally invasive research methods while improving scientific infrastructure in Cabo Verde.

Johnstown does have a small airport that flies exclusively to and from Washington, D.C. The closest major airport is Pittsburgh (about 2 hours), but there are several additional small airports in the region that are about an hour away, including Latrobe and Altoona.
Amtrak offers service to Johnstown. The railway station is downtown and less than a block from festival grounds, and within walking distance of the two downtown hotels (the Holiday Inn Downtown and EconoLodge).

The need for a clear description and an indicator of the economic situation led the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS) to start a system of GDP estimation at both the national and provincial levels in 1985. Although it initially started with production-side estimation only, the NBS formally adopted an expenditure approach in 1993.
The quarterly GDP is estimated for the following eight industries: agriculture, forestry, husbandry, and fishing; mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas, and water; construction; transport, post and telecommunications; wholesale, retail trade, and catering; banking and insurance; real estate; and other.
The annual GDP is estimated for 16 industries. Along with the eight industries included in quarterly GDP estimates, the following eight are included for annual GDP: services for agriculture, geological prospecting and water conservancy; transport and storage; social services; health care and social welfare; education, culture and arts, radio, film and television; scientific research and technological services; and government agencies, parties and social organizations.
There are three main sources of data in China.
Data collected by government agencies: The NBS collects data on agriculture, forestry, husbandry and fishing; mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas, and water; construction; wholesale, retail trade, and catering, fixed-asset investment; labor; wages; price; household income and expenditure. State councils collect data on transport, customs, and balance of payments.
Final fiscal accounting datasets of revenues and expenditures from various administrative departments.
Final financial accounts belonging to multiple sectors, including banks, insurance, railways, civil aviation, and post and telecommunications.
The NBS owns and delegates data collection through its various departments at both national and state levels.
Firms and industries are required to report data about production, sales, and financial status by submitting prescribed forms either directly to NBS, or to local statistical agencies, or both. Further verification is done through surveys conducted by the Enterprise Investigation Organization unit of the NBS. The methodology includes NBS calculating the value-added for different enterprises on the data it has collected on its own (or through its departments). Similar values are derived or calculated by local agencies and competent authorities at the state and province levels.
Preliminary Estimation (PE): Aimed as a quick primer for the current macroeconomic situation, PE is conducted early the following year. For example, for 2019, the PE would occur in the first quarter of 2020. Due to limited data availability at that time, PE is based on limited statistics in specific fields as available from different NBS departments.
Primary Revision: The primary revision is conducted around the second quarter when more data becomes available from various NBS departments, ministries of states, and various administrative datasets. This enhances the earlier PE report, but still lacks data on final fiscal accounts, and financial accounts of multiple sectors, including those from banks, insurance, railways, civil aviation, and post and telecommunications.
Final Revision: The final revision is made in the last quarter, once all the data related to accounting, statistical and administrative sets for annual GDP estimation become available.
To ensure uniform comparability across historical datasets, periodic adjustments to the historically published datasets are also made as needed, including when new data sources are identified, or there is a change in industry classification or in accounting methods.
China has remained a closed economy with a tight government control. The authenticity of data sources, data collection techniques, calculations, and published figures has been questioned time and again. China has taken a few measures to circumvent the associated problems, which includes reforming the survey and aggregation methods, increasing the scope of the survey, and revamping the calculation methods. The change to its method of national accounting from old System of National Accounting (SNA) 1993 standards to the newer SNA 2008 standards is one such initiative to win investors trust and have uniform accounting system similar to global standards.

SANTA FE – The vibrant colors and hues in Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings soon will be on full display for color blind visitors.
The Santa Fe museum announced Monday it’s teaming up with California-based EnChroma to expand the gallery experience through special glasses.
Starting May 3, visitors with red-green color blindness can borrow glasses to see O’Keeffe’s work in the way that she intended.
One of the museum’s curators, Katrina Stacy, says O’Keeffe in her later years developed visual impairment from macular degeneration and turned her attention to sculpture.
Stacy says the project with EnChroma has ties to that part of the artist’s story.
EnChroma co-founder Andrew Schmeder says O’Keeffe juxtaposed colors from nature in ways that evoked emotion and seeing that relationship between colors has been challenging for people with color blindness.

This quick DIY sign adds texture and just the right farmhouse feel for the space above my sofa. Read on to find out how to make it!
Tweaking, fluffing, moving, arranging and re-arranging...it's all par for the course when you love home decor. Nothing stays the same for very long...but that's part of the fun! And I find when my space lacks something, before I run to the store, I try to remedy that by making something myself.
This handmade farmhouse gather sign was inspired by our recent trip to IKEA and the accessories I found for my living room. I felt like the space above my sofa needed something with texture, but nothing too big and intrusive.
A quick search in the garage yielded an ideal piece of wood. No cutting was necessary, just some sanding to smooth out the rough surface and edges.
I'm not going to bore you with the complete tutorial for this project because you've seen it before. If you're new here, search signs and you'll find several more projects with in-depth tutorials like this one...or this one...or this one.
The basics for making a sign like this include stain (or paint) and a stencil.
I gave my board a quick coating of stain and let it dry overnight.
My stencil was created in PicMonkey and cut out using my Silhouette. If you don't have access to a die-cut machine or you don't want to make your own stencil, you can find many varieties of affordable 'gather' stencils here. Or you can grab my free printable a little further down.
It took longer to tape all the little pieces to my board than to actually apply the paint! I used regular card stock for my stencil, so it wasn't sticky...but much more affordable than vinyl!
The finished product was a little too perfect for my taste...I wanted it to look more aged. So once the white chalk paint dried, I gave the sign a few swipes with my hand sander to remove just a little of the white paint.
I didn't bother to wax or poly it as it won't get touched much, hanging on the wall.
I think it adds just the right amount of texture and warmth to my living room, and nicely balances the other wood pieces in the room.
As promised, here is the free printable (for your personal use only please). Click the link and save to your computer. You'll be able to print it or upload it at full size to either your printer or die cut machine.
Now my living room is complete, haha. Ok, I'm sure there'll be more tweaking and arranging, but for now I'm satisfied!
I'd love to know how you'd use this sign! Leave me a comment below.
