Each year, this writer's guide to
literary agents contains more
valuable articles and tips, plus
detailed listings for literary agencies
and agents. A new section in this year's
edition is an independent publicist's
section which contains articles about
book publicity and listings containing
information for a dozen publicity
companies.
The book includes
two sections for agent listings,
one for non-fee charging agencies and one
for fee-charging agencies.
Each agency listing includes contact
information, a list of member agents,
a list of recent book sales, the types
of work the agency represents, terms
and advice. In the fee-charging
section, the listings also include information
about the agency's fees.
Special indexes in the book help you
quickly find agents for a specific
genre or a specific region. Other resources
in the
Guide to Literary Agents
include a section with information
about writer's conferences, a glossary and
information about additional reference resources.
This useful yearly guide is a must-have for writers seeking
representation for a book or screenplay.
