I got an email from someone who says my agent requested a full. I'm cool with giving a reference (I've done it in the past) but the person clearly didn't run this by my agent first. When she's cleared it in the past, she's asked me for permission first.
So, my options are
1) give the reference and not tell my agent
2) give the reference and tell my agent
3) tell the person that's really kind of uncool to do this sort of thing (and then either tell or not tell my agent)
4) ignore the writer completely on the grounds that I have no idea who this person is.
BTW, if someone I knew from here were to ask me, I'd answer because we have a prior connection. I think that's fine.
But this is out of the blue.
What say you guys?
BTW, my two year old is on my lap and thinks this guy -->

is saying he wants food.
