 New and much improved August 16, 2007

Sadly, I've been searching for a literary agent for many years, and every year I buy the annual Guide to Literary Agents. The articles and listings have been very helpful, but the 2008 Guide by Chuck Sambuchino is the best ever. It contains many new listing and provides a plethora of useful information. (Maybe that's why I can't find an agent. I use words like "plethora.") New entries for agents are added every year, but the new entries in the 2008 Guide have been of particular value to me.The Internet is becoming increasingly helpful as a tool for locating the right agent, but I've found nothing more useful than Sambuchino's 2008 Guide to Literary Agents.

Two years ago I used the 2005 version of this book to cold call about 150 agents regarding a psychology book I'd written. I contacted most of them via snail mail and some by email. About 15 of them gave me a personal response, three showed serious interest, and one of these signed me up. She and I were eventually able to get my book published. So I had a positive experience using this book. The information seemed accurate and legitimate, and this book was at least as well organized and useful as other similar ones.

This updated guide includes new agents and agencies, agents actively searching for new clients-- and those who don't want them. It can be a real time-saver, not to mention postage-saver!
Also gives "how-to" info.
Too bad it can't guarantee an agent will choose to represent your book.

If you have had the pleasure and pain of writing a book, are proud of it and are ready to move ahead with publication, this is the book for you. It is easy to read and follow and gives you step by step instructions on how to "eat the elephant" one bite at a time. The included comprehensive list of literary agents, what types of literary works they are interested in and submission requirements are invaluable. Get the current version, study it and it is certain that you'll agree that this book is worth every penny you'll pay for it.
