Description

Review “When you get to the ‘finding the agent’ stage, check out Jeff Herman’s Guide. I found it very useful because it gives more background on agents. Keep in mind that publishing is very personality driven.”— Emily Giffin, New York Times–bestselling author of First Comes Love“I sent my proposal and sample pages to ten agents selected from Jeff Herman’s Guide and was shocked to receive interest from three of them. I celebrated when I signed with an agent and again when my first book was sold.”— Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times–bestselling author of Maisie Dobbs“Here’s my two cents: I used Jeff Herman’s Guide. It includes a huge list of agents, interviews about what they are looking for, and useful info on big and small presses.”— Kristy Woodson Harvey, author of Lies and Other Acts of Love“If you are only going to get one book on this subject, Jeff Herman’s Guide is the one I recommend. When I was looking for an agent, this was the book that showed me how. The only thing is, you have to do what it says.”— Marie Bostwick, author of Between Heaven and Texas“I got my agent by using this guide!”— Meg Cabot, New York Times–bestselling author of The Princess Diaries“I highly recommend Jeff Herman’s Guide. It was the most helpful book I bought about how to get published.”— Nicholas Sparks, New York Times–bestselling author of The Notebook Read more About the Author Jeff Herman, a successful literary agent, has sold more than a thousand books to dozens of publishers and, since 1990, has mentored millions of writers through this guidebook.
