No, but, but see, here's the thing.
When I first heard it, when I started agenting, I was like, you just don't acquire.
And then I noticed everyone doing it.
And I'm like, you know what?
Acquire for the list.
Like I just got over it because everyone does it.
And I'm just saying that the author is probably like imitating or emulating what she sees.
You know what I think?
Whenever an agent says that, whenever an agent says, oh, I tap out because of the comms, I go do it so I can take the project for me.
Because I have signed people with terrible comps.
The story was great.
I will find the damn comps.
Like, I will do it.
Again, is it smarter for the author to find it?
Yes.
But I'm sorry, agents who are doing this.
You're missing out.
You're missing out.
You are.
I get it.
