Thanks. I hope so, cause even though age shouldn't have anything to do with it, It's still hard to relate my 58 yo brain (even though I'm still 25 in my head, until I look in the mirror) with what a younger agent wants. I simply can't put myself in their shoes. I'm not exactly normal though, I was living in a car in the projects of San Francisco at 12 in the late 70s! Needless to say I didn't have a cell phone, only the Jetson's did back then, :)

I don’t think you have to but yourself in their shoes to connect with an agent of any age. I’m fact, it’s incumbent upon THEM to find a way into YOUR shoes. I’m not naive enough to say ageism doesn’t exist in publishing or elsewhere but I’m not looking for books that only reflect my experiences or worldview.
