Agents do not get paid unless they sell a book. That means they are reading queries/emails/proposals for free. Advances, in general, are low-mid-five-figures (if you're lucky). Agents must wait for publishers to issue checks (takes forever). Most publishers pay advances in thirds. If we are talking about an advance of $10K-$20K, 15% of each of those payments do not amount to much. No one is ignoring you on purpose; they are just drowning in queries.
It’s now unmistakable: Donald Trump has declined in alarming ways. His vocabulary has withered. His cadence has slowed. His speech is often slurred. Nothing in his recent public appearances suggests he’s operating with the clarity or capacity expected of a president. The only question is whether anyone around him has the courage to confront what’s happening.
