Agent Sites, Blogs, Etc.

Below is an incomplete list of US Literary Agents I have found over the course of my querying. If you have any additional information you'd like to add, please feel free to leave it in the comments, or to e-mail me with any additions. (As always, negative comments - directed toward a particular agent or not - will neither be tolerated nor posted. If you have a legimate verifiable problem with one of the agents below, e-mail me and I will consider removing their name from the list.) I've tried to verify that these agents are legimate and are either members of AAR or at least adhere to the AAR Canon of Ethics. As with anything, please do your own research to determine whether the information is helpful for your own situation and needs.

Mind you, I haven't queried all of these agencies. Some of them don't represent my genres, and others I just haven't clicked with enough mentally to make the query step. If you have any questions about any of the above agencies, you can always e-mail me and I'll help where I can, but please remember my rule: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. Which means if I got a rejection from any of the above, I won't be sharing the gorey details.

If you'd like to research agents on your own, try some of the following:

- AAR - Simple Search
- AgentQuery
- Publishers Marketplace - Search
- Preditors and Editors - Agents
- LitMatch.net (blog)

I hope this helps my fellow pre-published authors.
