How To Find An Agent

How do you find an agent?

At last, the question of how to find an agent has been answered.

February 12th

Very interesting discussion today on book publishing.  This is what I was hoping to get out of the Novel Approach course.   How do you find an agent – and indeed do you need one?  What do you need in order to submit a book for consideration, either by an agent or a publisher; a synopsis; a couple of chapters or a finished book? Are editors still willing to advise potential authors on writing skills?  

We also discussed finding how to structure a book properly.  Having an idea, a plot, a sub-plot and characters isn’t enough.   How do you present them?   We discussed how the best novels are structured.  A very positive and worthwhile session.  We are half-way through the course, and amazingly, it would seem with only half the original group of students.   

Why would students want to play ‘hooky’ from a class they’ve actually paid to attend?
