WEBSITES HELPFUL TO WRITERS
This is a series of posts which, I think, will be beneficial to writers.
But first, I would like to include my usual warning about using websites.
Whenever you check a website you are, in my opinion and I talk from experience, being put on a list for sale. So, expect the possibility of being bombarded by ads from companies you, perhaps, have never heard of and have no interest in.
By the same token, I feel that once you call a business for information you are also put on a list, for sale, of similar companies to the one you have called.
That’s just how it is in today’s society.
I hope you find the information offered in these posts helpful.

LITERARY AGENT QUERYS: WHAT THEY WANT
LITERARY AGENT QUERYS: WHAT THEY WANT
In my current search for a literary agent for my novel, The Beast Awaits, I have come across a phenomenon which greatly assists in querying agents. Many literary agent agencies are using online forms to submit queries. And all the forms require, to a great degree, the same information. This makes querying agencies a s process where once you have the information required for one agency you have most of the information required by the rest.
Another common denominator is the requirement to be a member of Query Tracker. The membership for this website is free.
In a future post I will list the information which is required to query these agencies so you will be prepared, with the information needed in hand, to make the querying process for your work easier.
