5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this book!,
By Katherine (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Literary Agents 2001: 570 Agents Who Sell What You Write (Paperback)
It may seem strange to say that you love a big listing literary agents but I do. I've been writing my whole life. Just recently I decided to look into getting an agent for a book I wrote. I bought this book, sent out six queries, and already have an agent requesting to read my book. This book is indispensable. Read it if you are even thinking about looking for an agent.

So I am planning ahead,

This review is from: Guide to Literary Agents 2001: 570 Agents Who Sell What You Write (Paperback)
I am planning way ahead. So far I only won a few poetry contests. However I have half of several novels, pieces of screenplays, and other odds and ends. If I ever do something real I want to have an agent (even if I do not need one.) This is part of the fun in writing.
This book is well organized with the types of agents and what they require. You can read the front cover and see that there are new listings and even e-mail addresses. Contents at a glance: Articles About Working with Literary Agents Before You Start Narrowing Your List Contacting Agents Before You Sigh Literary Agents Listings Articles About Working with Script Agents Script Agents Listings Writer's Conferences Resources Agents Index Listings Index Under the front cover is a Key to Symbols and Abbreviations used in the book.

I NEEDED this Book,

This review is from: Guide to Literary Agents 2001: 570 Agents Who Sell What You Write (Paperback)
I did a TON of research on my own to attempt to find an agent. I picked up this book, hoping to add to my knowledge and list of available agents. I discovered I had wasted some of my precious writing time. Some of the agents I wrote are not accepting queries in 2001. This book would have saved me time, money and efforts had I bought it first.
