And after that, it\u2019s up to the author and her or his agent to get that idea out into the world (more specifically, into the hands of an enthusiastic editor). From finding the right agent and how to manage what will hopefully be a long client\/agent relationship to demystifying the process of publishing a book and working with editors, superagent Laurie Abkemeier (Marley &amp;amp; Me,&amp;nbsp;Rise of the Rocket Girls,&amp;nbsp;Seinfeldia) \u2013 Jennifer and Kim\u2019s agent \u2013 engages in a real talk conversation about one of the most important members of an author\u2019s professional team, the literary agent. Bonus: the agent who didn\u2019t even like dogs before she agented the greatest dog book of all time shares the idea for the book she\u2019s dying for someone to write.
