This Week at Query TrackerThe profiles of several agents were updated this week. Please make sure you double-check every agent's website or Publisher's Marketplace page before querying.
Ready to write your own success story?
Remember--you'll reach success when you find the agent who is perfect for your work. Be sure to read each agent's profile carefully and visit other links such as company websites and blogs. Follow them on social media sites and get a feeling for what they really want. The better you know the agent, the better you will know if they are the right representative for your work. Blindly querying agents without regard for their guidelines or repped genres only delay the process--not only for you but for other writers.
Using QueryTracker.net will help you become a well-informed querying writer. Use the resources to your advantage and seek the fastest, straightest path to finding your ideal agent today.
This Week in Publishing
Self-Pub or Traditional: How will you choose? The Seven Scribes blog posted a pair of articles that discussed how to choose between the two. Both authors give compelling support for their chosen paths.
John Pye talks about self-publishing, its advantages, and its challenges. "I am in control of my book."
K.M. Weiland shares a poignant article about giving up on a story. Here are three signs that may mean it’s time to let go.
A look at “literary citizenship”: Stephanie Vanderslice discusses the need for perpetual education of writers-because the traditional MFA courses aren’t giving writers everything they need.
Have a great weekend!
"Believe in yourself and in your own voice, because there will be times in this business when you will be the only one who does. Take heart from the knowledge that an author with a strong voice will often have trouble at the start of his or her career because strong, distinctive voices sometimes make editors nervous. But in the end, only the strong survive." - Jayne Ann Krentz
