Wednesday, April 12, 2006A Gold Star For Agent KristinI've added another blog to my "For Writers" blog list. But before I expound, allow me to offer the following disclaimer: Agent blogs are not places for picking up agents. Hanging out in agent comment boxes so the agent can "get to know you," sending your query to an agent via her blog, resorting to a first-name basis with a blogging agent, repeatedly posting the link to your "I'm A Really Awesome Writer So Come Read Me" web site, or becoming in any way, shape, or form a Blogging Agent Groupie, is severely frowned upon by agents, authors, and society at large. Okay, now that I've gotten that off my chest... If you're a writer looking for a valuable source of information and insight into the world of publishing -- via some sweet-n-feisty rants -- then hasten to Pub Rants, the blog of literary agent Kristin Nelson. Ms. Nelson hails from the Midwest, but is every bit as connected to the New York Publishing Empire (did I say that?) as your average NYC agent. She's web-savvy and down to earth -- and she accepts e-queries, which is definitely the wave of the future. Go ahead and read a few entries on her blog -- you'll immediately get the sense that Someone Out There is being, well, REAL. You'll also learn a thing or two. I love her blog. Absolutely love it. And I highly recommend it to any serious writer who wants to get an "inside feel" for the world according to an agent. An agent with a personality, even. Visit her. And let me know how you enjoyed your stay. |

Any word from Random House?
It's so funny to find you blogging about agents today!
I was thinking about it last night for some reason and had made a mental note to ask you how the search was going. :-)
