Publisher and Agent Links...

Tonight I'll put on some links that I'll be using for publishers or agent lists...

I'll just put the links in a list form... and I'll make sure they are linked to the Submission's Guidelines page.

These are just a start of links... i'll keep adding to this post and comment to it when i add. I'm only learning myself... I'm just going by what I'm reading on the web. There are many many more publishers and agents out there... just google them... all agents and publishers take different genres of books... what might be ok in my list won't be for you if you are writing something totally different.

Some tips I've found out since I've started down this new path...

You must read each publisher's submissions' guidelines first. Check back often as they change regularly.

Check to see if they take email query letters or snail mail ones, or both.

Never send your manuscript unless it's specified to do so.

Do not self publish unless it's just for family.

Revise, revise, revise, and then ask around to see if someone will proofread your manuscript for you.

Do not state your age in your query letter.

Follow the guidelines of your query letter to a "T". Any mistakes could mean rejection.



I'll keep adding to the tips as i think of them.
Happy writing!
