Just found this blog run by a professional literary agent. Check out topics including “When I stop reading” for advice on how to submit work that an agent will notice – and keep reading – or join me in wallowing in the lack of jobs in publishing, but with some helpful advice from the contributor and comments on how to build your resume and look appealing to agents and publishers who are still hiring. happy job hunting.

What do you think about this decision? come to this event at Sothebys Institute New York on January 20th from 3:30pm-6:30pm. Registration required: see below. The First NYC Digital Show and Tell – eBooks, eReaders, and Digital Content Publishing (New York, NY) – Meetup. Hope to see you there! Check out WeBook, a site which calls itself a “Writing community for writers, readers and literary agents” where you can “submit works, read and rate writings.” On the PageToFame section writers can post their work (for a minimal fee) to be rated by WeBook users. In the first round the first page is reviewed by users on a 5-point scale, if it does well readers judge a 5-page sample, and then the full piece. A panel of professional literary agents will review the best-rated pieces. Is this a backdoor to being discovered? Not really, but it might be a good way to test the appeal of your work and push yourself to create a greater online presence. As a reader you are able to see the percentage of readers who voted like you after you cast your vote, and thereby compare your opinion. Overall Impression: Writers are not judged on a professional |
