“There was one person who greatly and directly benefited my career--my agent Virginia Kidd. From 1968 to the late nineties she represented all my work, in every field except poetry. I could send her an utterly indescribable story, and she'd sell it to Playboy or the Harvard Law Review or Weird Tales or The New Yorker--she knew where to take it. She never told me what to write or not write, she never told me, That won't sell, and she never meddled with my prose.” WritingPersonsStoriesLawCareersFieldsLateSellsTalesAgentsProseReviewsHarvardVirginiaNew YorkersPlayboyIndescribable Author:Ursula K.
