Hundreds of thousands of authors self- published their works last year, many by choice and many more because they couldn’t find a book publisher. If you want to get published, you need a literary agent and there’s no better resource to find information on over 1,000 literary agents than the new 2013 Guide to Literary Agents by Writer’s Digest Books.
The book makes it easy to search for agents who specialize in certain genres. Each entry features contact information, a website, types of books handled, terms for representation, and the various writer’s conferences they attend. Submission tips are also provided.
The first 119 pages reveal useful information about how to find and work with a literary agent, including a 14- page FAQ. There’s also a glossary of terms, sample query letters, and a list of writers conferences.
The $30 paperback includes a free one-year online subscription to writersmarket.com. You should also check out http://bit.ly/QteCom and follow @writersdigest on Twitter.
