They give information about personality traits as well as likes/dislikes and being a good fit with an agent means much more than just writing in the genre they represent. Thanks for stressing that point!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255908019822363456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740020593647189165.post-43251941891857791052009-12-22T09:29:15.649-05:002009-12-22T09:29:15.649-05:00Casey, thank you for your wonderful blog.

A lot of literary agents are blogging these days. Find one you might be interested in and do a simple google search. You'll find interviews they may have done(where they tell you exactly what they do or do not want to see in their inbox), their personal blog sites etc. Knowing your prospective agent as a person is important. You have to make sure that not only would they like your work, but that you would be able to work with them.<br /><br />I found one agent I was looking in to, but after spending a chat session with said agent, changed my mind. We simply wouldn't get along on a personal level.Lacey J Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930985573303127061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740020593647189165.post-34208105417917234602009-12-22T01:32:10.354-05:002009-12-22T01:32:10.354-05:00Thanks so much for linking to me!

I find myself at the Guide to Literary Agents blog quite a bit while doing my research and Cynsations has a lot of great interviews.Casey Somethinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596079290053524103noreply@blogger.com
