1- ask for material- or
2-even better just book you or your guest right there on the spot. If you get a no- that is ok- but it is only a no for now! You may be able to turn it into a yes in three months if you don't burn your bridge with the producer. More in our next newsletter.

( 3 / 560 )Every wanna-be author who has dreams of being picked up and published by a traditional publishing house wants to know how to secure representation by a literary agent. Why? Because the large publishing houses won’t look at manuscripts or proposals from “unagented” writers. Some mid-sized, and most small, university, niche, and regional publishers will look at, and often welcome, unagented submissions, however.
If you dream of having that publishing business partner called an agent, then the advice offered in this Write Nonfiction in November post by Michael Larsen, a literary agent himself and the author of How to Get a Literary Agent, will interest you. Read on and discover 11 great tips on how to find literary representation.
11 Ways to Find the Agent (or Editor) You Need
By Michael Larsen
Literary Agent and Author
Michael Larsen-Elizabeth Pomada Literary Agents
Finding an agent is easier than ever. Getting one to represent your book may not be. The more challenging the book business becomes, the more careful agents have to be about the books they handle. At the same time, the more challenging the book business becomes, the more eager agents are to find writers whose books they think they can sell.
One of the many reasons why now is the best time ever to be a writer is that you have more options for getting your books published than ever. There’s a list of them at www.larsen-pomada.com. More new writers will either have to self-publish their books, if only to test-market them, or sell their books themselves. The good news is that writers sell more books than agents. Small, midsize, niche, university, and regional publishers buy most of their books from writers, and collectively, they publish far more books than the big houses that agents most want to sell to. So you can also use the list to find a publisher.
Happy hunting!
1. Referrals
The best way to get an agent’s attention is if the first two words the agent sees or hears are the name of a client, editor, agent, author, or bookseller who suggested you contact the agent. The more important the person, the more eager the agent will be to hear from you.
2. Your Networks
You need overlapping, professional, international networks online and off that will be as important to your career as writing and promoting your books: family and friends, speakers, writers, publishing people, professionals in your field, booksellers, fans, suppliers, champions, people around the country, and a promotion network
3. Writer’s Organizations
Members are part of your networks.
4. The Association of Authors’ Representatives (AAR www.publishersweekly.com/aar)
5. Directories
Jeff Herman’s Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, and Literary Agents 200X; 200X Guide to Literary Agents; 200X Guide to Literary Agents: A Writer’s Guideby Adam Begley; Literary Market Place (LMP); The Writer’s Handbook.
6. The Web
Google literary agents. Visit www.authorlink.com, www.predatorsandeditors.com, www.publisherslunch.com, www.publishersweekly.com, www.reviewsnews.com, www.publishersmarketplace.com.
7. Literary events
Writing classes, readings, lectures, seminars, book signings, conferences and festivals.
8. Magazines

9. Publishers’ catalogs and websites
Libraries receive catalogs.
10. Books
Dedications and acknowledgments in competing and complementary books.
11. Your Platform
Give talks, maintain a website, write a blog, do an ezine, post to related sites, do podcasts, get published online or off, publicize your work and yourself, build your email list. When your continuing national visibility is great enough, agents and editors will find you.
