THE PROBLEM: WRITERS ARE WRITERS NOT AGENTS
At Blue Hen, we know that writers never have enough time to write. Taking time out of your day to tend to life’s responsibilities is one thing, but why are you expected to become a competent literary agent for yourself as well?DIFFERENT SKILLSETS: Most writers don’t know how to go about publishing their stories, and they shouldn’t be expected to. It’s an entirely different skillset.PUBLISHING IS A BLACK BOX: Agents or publishers primarily work with well known or book-length authors, leaving few options for the vast majority of writers to get help with publishing.YOU WANT TO WRITE: And we don’t blame you! Many writers end up abandoning the publishing process before their work gets accepted anywhere in order to get back to what they actually enjoy—the writing.
