Michael Larsen is one of the deans of literary agents in the United States, who established Larsen-Pomada Literary Agents in 1972 and has represented hundreds of books since. Last month, at the sold-out San Francisco Writers Conference he acknowledged the mounting challenges facing authors in the past few years-the stagnant book industry sales, the shuttering of bookstores, and the heightened competition with more than one million books published each year. But his main message on writing was upbeat: "There is no better time than today to be a writer."
