What's it Like to be a Literary Agent?

Apparently it's not like the Hallmark movies. Too bad, looks so glamorous.

But reading a manuscript and instantly "knowing" it's a book to shepherd into the world seems like a gift to an author and future readers.

Riding the highs and lows of editing, bad reviews, BookTok (yes, it's what you think), and taking beautiful words on a page and getting into the hands of readers. Yesssss please!
