Sounds like an agent is failing at middleman-ing to coordinate all those messy contracts.
Sounds like an agent is failing at middleman-ing to coordinate all those messy contracts. It sounds like a terribly complicated project for a startup to disrupt the agent market by providing the agent a set of tools both technological and legal to massively coordinate releases across all markets simultaneously and cheaply for like 1% of the agent's cut or whatever seems fair. Or maybe for free during the initial startup phase. Two "portals" (I hate that word) one that agents talk to and one that publishers talk to and some minor smarts in the middle. Or if you really wanna be disruptive implement Charlie's helper to do all the good stuff he's previously discussed for a publisher. I don't know if becoming a book publisher is edgy web 2.0 enough to attract VC money, but if everyone in the biz thinks the current situation sucks, and there's some profit to be made in market disruption... The TLDR is a lot of "startup" theory is about disrupting middlemen. How about trying to make middlemen effective again using disruptive tools? (BTW I like his latest book)

There sure are.
