I am brand new to the idea of writing and I picked up the 2009 edition of this book at the library. I really liked it and was excited to find the new 2010 edition here. I was happy to see that it really was updated and I found information I had not seen in the earlier edition. I especially like the fact that they list recent titles that the literary agents have sold. I found that very helpful. I also really like the type of questions that were asked of agents, as they were much more in depth than I had found in other books on literary agents. I found an agent listed with similar interests to mine. When I looked her up in other "literary agent" books, that specific personal information was not listed. Therefore, I might have missed out on an appropriate agent to query. I recommend this book.

Jeff Herman consistently provides literary enthusiasts with a wealth of information, contacts, etc. I echo the sentiment of others who state that his guide book(s) is like a Bible for authors, published or aspiring. And it's almost just as thick. I'm often asked, "What direction do I take to get published?" Of course, this all depends upon what one is writing. However, the answers and much, much more lie within the covers of this book. HIGHLY recommended!!!!

I really recommend this book for anyone in the process of trying to get their book published and sold. Herman's book is packed with how-to, hints, suggestions and best of all, a rather unique manner of listing the literary agents. The method Herman uses lets the reader get acquainted with the agent, which of course is not an easy thing to do when we can't visit the agent in their office. But Herman's method did it for me. Made it easier to decide which literary agent to contact with a query letter, one-page synopsis and SASE. I just began (December 2009) the process of trying to get represented by a literary agent, but I'm confident it will happen now that I have Herman's book to guide and help me.

Jeff's book is one of the best available for authors seeking to be published. Not only it provides a useful, updated directory of agents and publishers, it also includes very relevant and practical advice on submissions, query letters and book proposals, especially the unsolicited kind.

A good buy! January 31, 2010

This guide to publishers, editors, and agents is better than any I've used before because of its in-depth look at the publishing world. The format is easy to read. There are many additional helps about query letters and summaries, as well as self-publishers. I especially like the "How would you describe the "author from hell" section. This book is well worth the money.
