AVOID REJECTION
By Carole J Greene

I’m your agent. You’re my client. We’re a team trying to sell your book to a publisher. We need to work as a team, with each of us doing what we do best. I don’t mind if you make suggestions about editors you feel would like to see my pitch letter about your book. I expect you not to mind when I make suggestions about ways I feel you could improve your book’s chances to get the nod.

At the risk of writing something akin to reinventing the fountain pen, I want to share some truisms that you probably already know—even if you don’t realize you know them. Finding an agent isn’t all that difficult. You found this website, didn’t you? That’s one way. Checking the various reference books listing literary agents is another. Both will get you some names and contact information.
