Description Edit: Whoa. I *definitely* did not expect to see THIS in the daily favorites. O__O Thank you so much, everyone!


Part II! Thanks for all of your wonderful replies to Part I [link] . It's always encouraging to know that there are so many aspiring writers out there. Sorry this image is so..........long......... O_O But really, this was the minimum amount of info I could put in about finding a literary agent. There are alot of books out there on this topic as well, so if you want to know more details, look for them online or at a bookstore. I hope this helps you out, if you are an aspiring novelist!

Note: For poets, nonfiction, and short story writers, this tutorial is unfortunately not applicable..... The process of submission for those forms are vastly different!

Thanks again.

Lol, this makes me want to finish my story and get out there! I however am not overly positive on my writing because I've recieved such little response from it save for in my creative writing class. If anything, I need to beef up the chapters because they're each like one page long.

But thank you! If I ever finish up my story to my liking, I will come back and re-read this. Very helpful.

P.S I finished reading the newest installments of the Glass Sonta (Fast reader, I know.) and I simply can not wait for more. Your story is like a drug.

Wow, great informations you have summed up here!
I'm not planning to write anything whatsoever, even less to get it published, but I still read your tutorial with extreme interest!
Thank you for all the writers who didn't know how to get started, and for those who, like me, had no clue about how the heck authors get their work published!

Wow! Thank you so much, on behalf of anyone and everyone interested in pursuing a career in writing, for taking the time to write out these wonderfully informative tutorials! I imagine these can help many people in their work in the future.

Now, if I only I could find such comprehensive help when it comes to getting a graphic novel published, that would really be something, lol.

If you mean a MODEL agent, this is NOT the right one.

It really does sound like a pretty cool job, doesn't it? For a while I really wanted to be one too--until I figured the workload might be a little over the top for me.

funnycauseitsfucked In reply to mree [2009-08-16 00:34:59 +0000 UTC]

Is an agent actually a real life 'lawyer' that you meet?
Or is it someone online?
It seems hard to get a book published here in Europe.

The only problem I'd think I'd have are deadlines. I hate deadlines.
