My advice for finding a literary agent would be first, put your work out there as much as possible and hopefully someone will find you, because I still have literary agents writing to me after they find my site. You want someone who understands your work and is going to be your cheerleader from day one.
I feel media is important when you are showcasing your work, as people need to know what you are doing.
Industry in art is a necessity - not a virtue - and any evidence of the same, in the production, is a blemish, not a quality; a proof, not of achievement, but of absolutely insufficient work, for work alone will efface the footsteps of work.
I think it's more important to show your work to the public.
No one should ever feel obliged to speak or to put themselves out publicly online, but I do think it's a good thing to do. The more of us who are women, making our work and just going 'Here I am, here's my work,' the easier it gets for everybody. It's a good thing to do.
I'm so appreciative that people have begun to recognize my work in a way where it can afford me more opportunities.
I think 'Miracle's Boys' made more people aware of my work.
You don't want your personality to eclipse your work because no one would be interested in seeing your work anymore.
People think I disappear sporadically, but I just do projects that don't get international acclaim.
