Sangeeta Mehta talks to two literary agents, Bob Mecoy and Kristin Nelson, who maintain that even independent authors can benefit from using an agent: "When indie authors start navigating the waters themselves — the film inquiry, the foreign contract — they learn pretty quickly why an agent might be valuable. It’s definitely a beneficial partnership. But to be clear, I rarely take on an indie author simply to exploit film or subsidiary rights. The profit margin is too low."
