I would buy again from this seller. Book came sooner than expected and it was in great shape.
Everything you need.If you're a serious writer, you need this book. The reference part of the book and the index helps me find which agents might be interested in my book--what kinds of books they represent, how active they are in seeking new clients, how many first-time writers they represent, how they find new clients--as well as what kind of an agency they are--how big their firm is (how many agents they have, how many clients), how long they've been around, where they're located. It says how to contact them & who to contact (again, check the website to see if that's changed), gives contact information. This is a SUPER-GREAT reference book for finding an agent. Trust me. One agent I looked up had changed the name of the agency, one changed the contact person, one changed the preferred method of first contact, etc. HOWEVER, do not skip the step of checking out the agent's website. As up-to-date as the book is, it simply cannot be as current as the internet.but it does provide internet addresses.as well as a ton of other important information.The first part of the book helped me to get a firm idea of what the search for an agent entails--a lot of do's/don'ts, feedback from actual agents including their pet peeves that often get authors' query letters chucked right away, etc., etc.
I can't imagine the querying process without this book. This is a MUST HAVE for writers looking for agents. Lots of valuable information.
- Gwen Choate For those of us who live out in the hinterland, writing faithfully but totally unaware of what's going on in the publishing world, this is the kind of help we need. It's almost like getting a personal introduction to an influenial person who can steer us in the right direction.
I'm happy I bought it. I always feel like I'm buying into a scam when I buy these guides, but a necessary one at that. There is lots of good info to help guide a web search.
