I have an agent!

@NessIllustration as much as I dislike the whole hierarchical system in general. I do agree with your description, really spot on. But maybe the key is to really figure out where your art fits well and point to your agent the directions you want to go and ask for help. Not too long after I signed with my current agency, I had a meeting with my agent once and I told her my dream publishers (Chronicle books, Enchanted lions) and the kind of books I am interested in making a couple of years down on the road. After that, I stopped getting educational book inquires :-).
I think it is hard for my agent to know my intent, my dreams, my goals without me telling her. Schedule time to chat about long term goal is a good one in my experience.
I am currently very happy where I am. I feel the communication with my agent is really good, and I am busy with projects. I feel I can ask all kinds of questions, and be open with my thoughts. This was not the case in the first 2 months or so - it took a bit of time to get to know each other, and learn how each other works.
@Braden-Hallett I would love to chat about different types of agencies with you someday. It is a fascinating topic.

@xin-li I totally agree, communication is key!!

@KajsaH Thank you! I totally understand the fear, I put off applying to agents for way too long. Your work looks so professional, I reckon you should just go for it! You've got nothing to lose!
