The Agents Directory
The directory is the key to publishing success. It provides a detailed listing
of literary and script agents and guides the reader step-by-step through the
process of finding, selecting, submitting a proposal and working with an agent.

2009 Guide to Literary Agents
Getting your work published often requires help beyond your persistence and
diligent work - you need an agent. Knowing how to find an appropriate person
you can trust to represent your work is the key. The 2005 Guide to Literary
Agents is your essential guide to finding that agent and getting your work
published.

mechanics and motivation of agents and managers at work. Get the tools you
need to protect yourself, build a career, and train your agent to work FOR
YOU.
How to Write Attention-Grabbing Query & Cover Letters
John Wood sees it with numbing regularity: the query letter that comes
close to making a sale--until the writer makes some fatal, but avoidable
mistake. So the Modern Maturity senior editor wrote this letter-writer's
guidebook. Read it, learn from it, use its secrets to write queries that
get accepted.
How To Be Your Own Literary Agent: An Insider's Guide to Getting Your Book Published
Practical and thorough guide to book publishing for writers. Richard Curtis,
a top literary agent for more than twenty-five years, provides a comprehensive
overview of the publishing process, from submissions to contract negotiations
to subsidiary rights to marketing and beyond.
Formatting & Submitting Your Manuscript
You work on the story, write it, and send it off to the agent thinking you
did everything right. It gets returned (if you're lucky) unread. Why? You
didn't follow the format. That's the first sign an agent looks for, that
you are aware of style, format, and form that are industry standards.
A Writer's Guide to Staying Out of the Rejection Pile
Whether you are a novice writer or a veteran who has already had your
work published, rejection is often a frustrating reality.

eBook Crossroads has made every effort to make sure this listing does not contain Agents or
agencies that request reading fees. The Directory is not a recommendation for any listing - it
is simply intended to be of help to you in your search for representation. Best of luck to you!
