We urge New Leaf’s leadership to reach out to all of the authors who were dropped and offer to accommodate them through other agents on staff, and, especially, to assign agents to complete negotiations for any pending deals. We have seen far too many authors left in the lurch over the years. The Authors Guild strongly believes that every agent needs to have a succession plan for their authors in case of disabling ill health or death, and we instruct authors to inquire about such a contingency plan. While unforeseen events do occur, New Leaf should have assigned the writers to other agents instead of simply dropping them. And we couldn't do it without support.The Authors Guild is extremely concerned by reports that the New Leaf Literary agency dropped one of its agents’ authors by email over the weekend, including some who were in the middle of contract negotiations. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at News, weather, sports - videos, photos, podcasts and social media - all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting.
