Myers usually worked on three books at a time. When he was not prewriting or writing a book, he might be rewriting something he had already completed. Then he would send the story to his agent（经纪人）. He or she made suggestions for the story. After these final changes were made, the book was published and made its way to bookstores and libraries.
