This Question Has Two Parts; Be Sure to Answer Both

This question has two parts; be sure to answer both.
First, explain the contingency viewpoint, explaining what it means.
Next, suppose you are a literary agent running your own business. You represent a large number of successful writers, and you have made it clear on your website that you are no longer taking on new writers as clients. One day a person you respect tells you about an unpublished writer who is simply fantastic and has the makings of an incredibly successful novelist. If you adopt the contingency viewpoint, what is your response? What would your response be if you do not believe in the contingency viewpoint?
