Like having a literary agent in your personal library,
By A Customer
This review is from: Do The Write Thing: Making The Transition To Professional (Paperback)
One of the necessities for every writer from novice author to experienced professional. It is a handy reference containing not only resources for submissions, but also invaluable guidance through the process of finding an agent and obtaining publication. It contains a range of useful information from copyright procedures to self publishing to agent/client contracts. Within its covers the author shares experiences gained over the years as a literary consultant, teacher and successful agent in the entertainment industry. I am constantly amazed at the help it has given me in all phases of my career
