In my experience agencies take between 33% and 50%. Once the contract has been
signed and you are working directly with the client, the agencies envolvement can
vary from chasing you up for a timesheet every week to regular meetings to
discuss your well being and future aspirations!

Generally a contract between the client and the agency puts restrictions on the
client employing you directly (without using the agency).

Good luck with the book!

Can this high percentage taken by agencies be regarded as an introduction
fee to the client or is it expected that all further work (to the client)
goes through the agency with them still to be taking their 50% cut?
