How to Find a Literary Agent

Finding an agent to publish the most difficult step on the road. Its importance can not be stressed enough: a good agent give feedback on your manuscript, that future editors will find on the table, and some you receive the best deal possible.

His novel 1.Finish
As a pre-published author, you began the hunt for an agent until ready to complete his novel and not polished. A local critique group to get feedback about your manuscript. If you consider joining an online critique group, a face-to-face group, can not find. There are many different styles of writing that are completed. If that is not an option, offering commentary editor for an independent pay.

Whatever you do: question until the manuscript is complete and correct.

2. Build your platform and / or your trust
Non-fiction book for writers as they are proposing the same area need to show identification. It may be a degree (the more the better advanced), serving as spokesman on the subject, working in the field, and / or seminars or conferences for people devoted to the subject can speak.

For fiction writers, stage construction of a chicken or egg kind of problem might be. It's hard to promote a book by one without the building, and it is difficult to publish a book without following, but is known about it. Christina Katz's book, before the deal is an excellent resource book to get known.

Fiction writers can try some activities are: teaching literature or creative writing (or in tutoring) maintain a blog classes, distinguished authors participating in the camps or to win awards for their writing.

3. Learn about business
Ideally, you should be learning about the publishing business when you are writing your novel and build your credibility. Present major writing conferences and talk to agents and authors (it should read a book that is an agent you do not have time to tell.) Read the author and agent blogs. Visit their Web sites and publishers' Web sites.

You can make as much as you want to know more about the business. When an agent comes knocking, you savvy, smart and want to appear knowledgeable.

4. Published short story or article
It is long enough to interest an agent publishing short fiction you can build credibility has been debated. Some editors say that writing short fiction is not ready to write you a novel. Others disagree. They say that publishing credit (awarded in the media) to show you're serious about being published. Also: the rejection process your skin tightened and some editing experience can provide.

Reliability almost always lends - awarded as trade journals or newspapers in the media again - published a non-fiction book you are proposing is related to. Publication proves that other editors believe in your credibility.

5. Research prospective agents
Just like doctors, specialist agents. A work that represents the type of writing you want to know. AgentQuery.com and writers union representative (aaronline.org) agents find two web sites you can research.
