Can someone please provide me with a list of fiction agent blogs? Or even just a couple agent blogs? I'm trying to put together a folder of agent blogs. I'm talking about blogs similar to Janet Reid, Betsy Lerner, and the Glass Cases blog.

Thanks so much!

Yeah that one sounds bad. I guess I'll just have to be really careful and patient

The irony, of course, is that by the time I had writing credentials that would possibly have swayed an agent to take me on I no longer needed an agent. Ha Lots of people do start out with small presses and then go on to get an agent later, and get bigger deals. I don't know if that's even irony. It...

Given that no matter where/how you publish, writers are now expected to do a lot of publicity/marketing for their book, Yeah I expected that. I don't even mind doing promotion. It's just the upfront costs of self publishing that bug me. But your last post was very helpful! I think I'm going to try ...

thanks cheeky! that was all very helpful. I checked out your blog too. Congrats on selling three books. wow that is awesome! So you must have an agent and everything, right?

Hi cheeky, Thanks for your reply! The genre for my novella is adventure/low fantasy. It's around 17,000 words. Thanks so much for the help! Even if you just put me through to a website that lets me find out about various e-publishers, that would be great. I'm going to start frequenting the Absolute ...

Thanks Hillary, Do you know what publishers accept non-agented submissions. Or non-agented novellas. I read that more and more publishers don't require an agent for you to submit. But anyway, can you by any chance point me in the right direction? Like a link or something that has a list of publisher...

I have a novella that I was going to put out independently as an ebook. But I hate the upfront costs involved. I was thinking about trying to get an agent, using this novella. My question is, do people get agents based on shorter works, like novellas? I always thought the query process involves nove...

by the way, NoReason, I think that synopsis you wrote sounds great!

Thanks for pointing this out, Taylor. :) Yeah sure! I normally don't give out writing advice, because I don't consider myself at the level yet, where I really can consider myself a teacher. But I had a moment of inspiration there, so I thought I'd explain myself. That is one of the formulas for why...

just come up with the best ending you can and use it. You will get better later! You'll start plotting it out better (either in your head or on paper) all the way to the end, and then the endings will be great. For now, if you have a good story, I think people will put up with a kind of anticlimacti...

The thing is, Rowling's world she made is so full of entertaining tidbits, she could incorporate stuff going on in the classroom while the characters had dialogue. Get it? The plot is moving forward, via mundane conversation, and yet everything is still so fun to read, thanks to all the funny stuff ...
