In today's highly competitive publishing industry, literary agents are more important than ever. Whether you write fiction or non-fiction, reference or children's books, here is everything you need to know about using an agent to launch and sustain your literary career.



(from Michael) I bought this book way back in 2008. The author covers a wide range of topics with expertise and clarity. However, by the time I reached page 93 (the book mark is still there), I decided to form my own publishing company and not need an agent. If you are unsure about self-publishing, this book will give you a good education about the traditional way to get published.
