Resource Thursdays: AgentQuery

July 16th, 2009

Whew!  Is it Thursday already?  This week has rushed by in a blur, and I’m looking forward to the weekend.  For the past few weeks my schedule has been: go to work, on lunch break research SCBWI Summer Conference faculty, finish work, get home, eat dinner/walk dog/hang out with husband, go to the library, type away at WIP, come home and read books by conference faculty (and whoever else strikes my fancy), sleep, repeat.  It’s been fun but tiring.  As I’ve been going through the researching portion of my process, I came across AgentQuery.  Writer’s Digest just named AgentQuery one of the Best Websites for Writers for the fifth year in a row.  Clearly they’re on to something.

AgentQuery is a large database of literary agents, and what’s great about it is that it offers an agent search.  You can narrow down agents by the type of queries they accept, books the represent, etc.  The site also offers really useful information on the publishing process and agents.  It also lists a bunch of other resources for writers.  Overall, it’s worth spending some time if you’re in the search for the right agent, or if you just want to learn more about the business.

    Nice! I’ve never really checked this site out, but I’m gonna now. I’ve been doing my conference research too. And you’re right, fun, but tiring!

    Yay! I love the research portion, I’m just trying to balance that with the actual writing. Whew!
