Abstract
The concept of a literary agent is often a mystery to those not intimate with the field of publishing. Their function is obscured, and many writers even are uncertain of their purpose. However, since their inception in the 19th century, they have come to play an integral part of the book publishing game and are depended on by authors and publishers alike for their services.
According to the Association of Author's Representatives, "literary . . . agents are engaged in the marketing of rights to literary properties."
