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.

A LITERARY AGENT SEARCH
In a recent post concerning my novel, The Beast Awaits, I reported how a query in Duotrope for a literary agent resulted in 124 hits. I was able, using another website to reduce this number to sixteen. I accomplished this by using the website Association of Authors Representatives (AAR, literary-agents.com).
AAR is an excellent free website to use when seeking a reputable literary agent. Their agents agree, to become a member, to in no way abuse the writer in their quest for an agent. The only profit AAR agents make is if they sell your work to a publisher.
More on AAR and other important websites in obtaining an agent in future posts.
I used AAR to research all 124 agents identified on Duotrope. The means by which I did this was first to eliminate any agents who were not members of AAR. This in no way means that these agents were not honest, but with AAR agents you can be sure they are beyond reproach. There is another website for agents which I may explore in the future, but I have enough results to keep me busy for now. I also eliminated some of the 124 agents because they were members of AAR but were not currently accepted queries. AAR can provide a wealth of information in an agent search.
Therefore, using the list of 124 agents identified by Duotrope I was able to reduce that number to sixteen agents I wanted pursue to represent my novel.
