![]() ![]() Years ago, I went to the Middle East with the USO, then a few months back, I took another trip to entertain our troops. Just be concise and clear, and send out the best book you can. What does that mean? Don’t be a nudge (I know, because I was-and none of those agents wrote me back). Also, there’s a fine line between enthusiasm and desperation. ![]() ![]() And the sad truth is, agents want what they can’t have, and whatever they can have, they don’t want. (Don’t say, “In Chapter One, this happens then in Chapter Two, this happens then in Chapter Three…). As someone once told me, write it like you’re writing the inside flap copy for the book. Most, if not all, writers thank their agents-and that’s one way to get a list of agents who have actually sold things.īeyond that, write a short (short!) cover letter to send out to prospective agents. As a trick (which I recommend), you should pick out a few authors you like and check the Acknowledgements section of their hardback books. After that, you can find a list of agents in books like The Guide to Literary Agents. ![]()
