Since professional writers already depend on agents / contract lawyers (since even the best and most caring
editors are still on the publisher's payroll, not the author's), and as the share of self - published books grows, it seems unavoidable that some agents and
editors will merge / pool their talents to provide writers with the
external services they require (accounting, editorial counsel,
copy - proofing) so that authors can focus on their core trade.
