Workin' On It Wednesday #5 -- A Cautionary Tale

This will be a short one: Agent Diana Fox has a message for all writers out there who think "oh, agents don't even read anymore! They don't even recognize a famous piece of literature * when someone changes the name! I bet I could just pretend she requested something from me and she would believe me!" Fox's message is simple: you're wrong . ~~~ *As Guardian writer Jean Edelstein points out , sometimes agents do recognize that someone is trying to pass off famous work to see if it will get published. But they just don't care.
