This week, I signed on with my first agent: Christi Cardenas of the Lazear Agency. Christi’s going to help me out with an original series that I’ve been pitching around. I can’t say more about it at the moment, but I’m ecstatic to partner up with her on this project.
The Lazear Agency is a small group with offices in Wisconsin and New York, which fits me fine. It also happens to represent Margaret Weis, Al Franken, and Jane Goodall, among several other notable authors. Many thanks to Margaret, who recommended I contact Christi in the first place.

Christi represents me as well, so welcome aboard, Matt! She’s an amazing agent, and very easy to deal with.

Good luck with the new agent and the new project. Keep us all posted. I hope we’ll see the series in print soon. I also hope we’ll still see you in Eberron from time to time.

Thanks, DR! I hope to get back to Eberron too. In fact, I’m waiting to hear back from Wizards about a pitch right now.

Does “original series” mean books, or television? It always means television aroudn here, but…

Books, baby! This ain’t Hollywood. Once you’re safely ensconced back here in the Midwest, you’ll understand that.

An agent? Geeze, does this mean I’ll need to make an appointment with your secretary just to meet for drinks at Gen Con?
Seriously, good luck with this new series!
Oh… and I didn’t know that Minneapolis was now a part of Wisconsin. When did we invade? Or was it the cheese that drew them into the fold?

Thanks, James! The Lazear Agency started in the Twin Cities, I believe, but its offices now reside just across the Mississippi in the city of Hudson, which sits firmly on the Wisconsin side of the border.
And, hey, I’ll always arrange my own drinks.

I’ve heard terrible things about The Lazear Agency and Ms. Cardenas. Good luck.

Thanks, Gloria. As with most things, I have low expectations and high hopes.
