So you've got this idea for a book, but you don't know where to begin to look for a publisher. With information on more than 400 publishers in the United States and Canada, the Writer's Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents, 1999-2000 is the perfect place to start your search. Though the alphabetic listing of publishers is somewhat daunting, the index (with its select range of general topics) can narrow down your list. Once you've compiled a list of publishers interested in your topic, you can turn to the in-depth, individual entries to learn more. These profiles include information on the houses' recent successes, its imprints, and its staff--including the names of the people to whom you can send query letters.

The book also contains a list of over 200 top literary agents (the author, Jeff Herman, is a successful agent who has sold nearly 350 titles) and what they're willing to represent, along with essays on the necessity of finding the one who best suits you. Other essays on the merits of different types of publishers, how to write query letters, and how to develop a proposal package round out the book. Perhaps the finest feature of this work, however, is its honest, straightforward tone. While the book remains upbeat, there's no sugarcoating of the truth--that only a small percentage of good writers get published. While offering no guarantees, the Writer's Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents, 1999-2000 will certainly help you in your search to find the one for you. --C.B. Delaney
