No no no no no no no! You never, EVER pay an agent ANYTHING up front. NEVER. If any agent tells you you need whatever from them and it'll cost you whatever before they can submit your work, DROP THAT...

Yes, you need the second "are," and you need to ditch the comma. Change this to "If you are a creative person by nature or are interested in..."
