Where does one find a guide to literary agents?
talking about the UK
query letters? what about them?? any literary agents out there? please please please help!!?
any agents out there? i have written a few books. if i send lots of query letters at once to publishers and agents, would it be wrong? i really want my books to be published quickly, and i really need the money. is it possible to get an agent or publisher, say, in UK, or US? i live in india. how much money do i get in advance if i am selected? i am using jeff herman’s guide to publishers, editors and agents. is that book reliable and useful?
Michael Legat’s “An Author’s Guide to Publishing” is invaluable. I bought my copy from Waterstone but, you’ll find it at Foyle’s, among others.
Apart from a complete list of all publishers, the types of books they accept submissions for, and a full explication of their submission guidelines, it has a similar listing for agents. I am talking UK-based.
Another obvious resource is the Yellow Pages’ Business Directory.
It’s not a good idea to query more than one book at a time. Publishers and agents want to see a one-page query letter that tells them about a book already written in a manner that compels them to believe that they can make money by selling it to readers. My advice is to pick your best and focus on getting that published. If you get to that point, the acquisitions editor will probably ask you what comes next. You can then haul out your other completed books.
Another poster said that you should not query more than one publisher at a time. Given that it may take several months for a reply, you could be querying for the rest of your life. I think that perhaps they are confusing writing a query letter and submitting the entire manuscript. Query multiple publishes and agents simultaneously. Don’t send unsolicited manuscripts. If a publisher asks to see your manuscript, then you should tell anyone else who expresses interest that you are already working with another publisher, but will keep them in mind if it falls through.
