On Series

Sailor Boy hasn’t had a chance to look at everyone’s poetry yet. I’ll get him right on that! In the meantime, the contest is still open.

A really great description of what makes a “bad” (not scam) agent at the Bookends Blog.

Also, I just found out about this crazy website that actually lists authors and who represents them. I don’t know who does it or how, but I’m on there (not that I keep it a secret who my agent is). http://querytracker.net This is a big old “well played” to the inventor of this database. It’s heaps more helpful to see what kind of books the agent is actually selling than to try to divine it from some vague genres mentioned on the usual agent listing sites. You can see EXACTLY what kind of books the agent has handled. Good going!

Speaking of agents, I’m guest blogging on my agent’s blog today, about the challenges and opportunities inherent in writing a series. (And about Star Wars.) Please drop by!
