Today for the 30-Day Sign Coach4aday Challenge I am focusing on how to sign on with an AGENT.

In the world of sports, art, music, and literature one step to some form of financial prosperity is signing with an AGENT. Mirriam Webster defines “signs” as “to engage or hire by securing the signature of on a contract of employment“.

He reviews the importance of a query letter. Being consumed with it being perfect Spark’s went thru 17 drafts and took 2 weeks to finish.
