How Learning Specific Computer Skills Helped Get Me Signed With an Agent

April 30, 2013 26 Comments

I wanted to start working with an agent in a distant market. The agency needed to have my composite sheet on their web site. The problem was that on my comp card all of my personal contact information, (E-mail address, phone numbers, etc…) is shown on my card. I asked the agent if I could just send individual photos so that none of my contact information would be shown. She said that her clients like to see all of the photos at one time, so sending individual shots wouldn’t work.

In order to have representation with this agent, I needed to learn how to delete some of the text on my comp card. I found a great editing program called Gimp, that allows you to edit text and photos. And, this program is free. The address is: http://www.gimp.org/.

So, after learning how to delete the requested text I was able to be represented by the agent.

    had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing but
    it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted
    just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?

    Great blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
    a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused ..
    Any recommendations? Many thanks!
