Re: Am I really being that unreasonable?
I want everyone to remember this comment Jeff Lowell just wrote. I see way too many times where the REP gets off the hook and the blame is placed solely on the writer as to why things aren't working.
Never be afraid to fire your rep, you will waste years toiling away and accomplish nothing if they are not a good fit for you. Representation is a PARTNERSHIP, you do not work for the rep. If you are pulling your end, they should pull their end.
It took me 2 managers to finally find the perfect managers for me. With my present managers I'm in a great creative space, I accomplish more, and am happy, and I have a great trust factor with them. Which helps make you a better writer.
Find the best fit for you.
Let me also add, I';m not saying you shouldn't listen to your reps, but you should have confidence in yourself and the work you do. You will not always see eye to eye creatively with your reps. But a good manager, will try to work it out and find common ground or trust in you as a writer. My managers are very open, and it's a full on collaboration with them, not a dictatorship like my former management was.
Sometimes people don't click. You should move one, and don't be too down on yourself.
