Agents Seeking Clients

After you have finished your book, you will be anxious to find an agent. Believe it or not, there are agents who are anxious to find you! For your convenience I have assembled all my posts listing agents who are looking for new clients. The most recent posts are listed first. Start at the top and work your way down. (I have also listed links to helpful posts - how to work with an agent, some of the best ways to find the right agent for you, what agents want from writers, and more.)

A word to the wise! Before submitting anything to an agent, read their submission requirements carefully, and follow them to the letter. I'm not kidding about this. Agents are usually swamped with requests, and that means they will use any excuse to throw your submission into the cyber trash bin. Check your spelling a zillion times. Address your query to them personally and make sure you mention why you chose them.

And one more word - to the not-so-wise. There are a few unscrupulous people out there who claim to be agents, but who are really out to ensnare writers who are desperate to publish. Do NOT under any circumstances pay an "agent" to read your work, or to edit it. Do NOT get sucked into having your work crowdfunded, or placed before "beta readers." DO look agents up on Preditors and Editors, and on AgentQuery. You've worked hard on your book. It deserves good representation.

Good places to find lists of agents and what they want:
