The Agenting Process
One of my favorite blogs, Big Bad Book Blog, has an article about landing an agent. Well it's part one and discusses the first steps of finding and contacting an agent.
I still maintain that one of the best ways to land an agent is through networking. Less and less agents these days are accepting unsolicited manuscripts. It really is about who you know, or who knows you.
So for those of you looking for an agent, you got to get out there, make yourself known and get to know as many people as possible.
And I'm not talking about emailing someone you don't know and asking them to connect you with an agent. I get a few too many of those emails. Networking is about building relationships.
