The Guide to Literary Agents is accessible, informative and indispensable for every stage of a writer's career. A writer's search for representation -- from finding an agent to signing a contract -- starts here.
I am planning way ahead. So far I only won a few poetry contests. However, I have half of several novels, pieces of screenplays, and other odds and ends.

You can read the front cover and see that there are new listings and even e-mail addresses.
