Tips on Representation?

[menalkhan]

Hi guys,

Earlier this week I submitted my portfolio to a few art directors and literary agents (shout out to everyone here who gave me a confidence boost when I was contemplating on editing my portfolio some more vs pushing forward - you're awesome!)
I received a few positive responses and have meetings with a couple of agents early next week. Many places I submitted to have a 1-3 month review period. If I really like one of the agents I meet next week, should I sign with them immediately, or is it better to wait a week or two to hear back from others? I’m concerned about signing too soon and potentially regretting it later or taking a week to think about it and then losing out on the responses I did receive. Since this is new territory for me, I’m seeking advice on how to proceed. I'm leaning towards signing with any one that seems like they have work lined up for me. Any thoughts?

@menalkhan The best thing you can do is reach out to some of their artists and ask about their experience

@NessIllustration That was great advice, I reached out to a few and got good feedback so I'm feeling much more confident now. Thank you!
