3.0 out of 5 stars An Dictionary of Contacts, July 12, 2010
This review is from: Literary Market Place 2010: The Directory of the American Book Publishing Industry with Industry Yellow Pages (Literary Market Place (Lmp)) (Paperback)
I'm not sure whether to love or hate this book. It is frequently stated that the LMP is essential for finding agents and/or publishers. Yet, trying to find a specific agency is like opening up a dictionary at random and looking to see if that page happens to have the information you seek. Although I was able to find some relevant agencies in my search for places to submit my query letter, I feel as if I missed many that I could have submitted to.

Though the book is filled with information, it was not user-friendly enough for me to continue the process. I might purchase the online edition [...]
since it allows you to search, something the book clearly lacks.

Ultimately, I got so frustrated trying to find 'the right agency' through the combination of contact information and web searches that I gave up (at least temporarily) on finding an agent. Instead, I am posting my manuscript as a blog [...]
. While I certainly can't blame the LMP for my decision, the LMP is, for me, filled with too much information and not enough editing.
