New Agents Added to the QueryTracker Database
Several new agents and publishers have been added to or updated on the QT Database recently. Check out the box labeled "New and Updated Listings" on the front page of the main QueryTracker.Net site and view their profiles for website links and genres they represent.
Tips, News & Other Interesting Info from Around the 'Net
Literary agent Nathan Bransford had a fantastic article for both published and unpublished authors about When Dreams Become Expectations. I see examples of this all the time and completely agree with this hard bit of advice. There's nothing wrong with dreaming, but reality checks are equally important in this business in order to be happy, regardless of success level.
UK literary agent Andrew Lownie made me laugh with this fun post on how not to open a submission called, Addressing Me.
The Chronicle of Higher Education posted an article recently that I think translates to fiction as well as academic writing called 10 Tips on How to Write Less Badly.
For those out there pushing or getting ready to push a product, I recommend taking a good look at Unslimy Marketing over at The Three Micahs.

Thanks for the links, Mary. I love the QT newsletter.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
That Nathan Bransford post was fantastic. I saw it yesterday and was quite surprised bu how many people misinterpreted what he said.
The QT Newsletter is awesome! Thanks for the links and happy Friday. :)
Hi, Krista. I agree about the comments in NB's post. I think folks are so used to the sunny side of life Nathan presents, they weren't seeing that message in his "Sith" post. It's there, though. It's the preservation of optimism he's advocating. ;)
Thanks for the comments guys.
