Agent Information

Someone had asked about Agents. Don't remember who, but what the heck. This might be a useful site for anyone who's interested.

WWW.AgentResearch.com

I wouold have linked it but I don't know how.

Donald, I'll add this to the message Helpful Links when I get a chance. I'm out of town right now and borrowing time on the hotel computer.

To link, you copy the entire URL and paste it into the message box. When you preview the post, it should say "view link" if you have done it correctly.

Here's the direct link:

Interesting website. Although their services are a little price-y.

Yes, so I'm told. I get a free newsletter from them 10 times a year. I find it very interesting because it's all about agents. I would have post a link to the newsletter, but I deleted it before I learn how to post links. Will link the next newsletter, so you can decide if you find it interesting.

I took a look at the site and I must admit, I don't understand why their services (or prices!) are necesssary.

If you go to www.agentquery.com, it's free and you can find out all that stuff on your own without much effort. Just plug in your genre, you'll then get a list of agents interested in it, along with their recent sales, websites (so you can see who they represent), what they're looking for, how to query them (ie email/snail mail). The site also has free articles on writing query letters, finding an agent and avoiding scams.

I really, really would not pay for this service.

I'm sorry. I'm not making myself clear. I'm not suggesting to anyone that they use them.

I'm only suggesting that you might want to sign up for their FREE newsletter. I find what they have to say about agents interesting. For me it's a peek into how Agents operate.

Nothing more.

Oh... good to know Donald. More info can never hurt.

Just please everyone: don't ever pay for services that offer to find agents/hook you up with agents/write queries/blast queries. (As for the query stuff - I know the companies say they personalize it, but I was just at a lecture given by an agent, where there were several in the audience and all agreed - they delete those blast emails.)
