WOW! Women On Writing Examines the Role of Literary Agents

Placentia, CA, November 05, 2007 --(PR.com)-- WOW! Women On Writing, an ezine that promotes the communication between women writers, authors, editors, agents, publishers, and readers, unveils “Agent in the Middle.” In this issue, WOW! writers and freelancers tackle every aspect of literary agents: how to get one, how to submit to one, how to query, which questions to ask, how to write a nonfiction book proposal to submit, and much more.

This issue includes interviews with Janet Reid, Kristin Nelson, and Wendy Sherman. In addition, WOW! interviews Victoria Strauss, founder of Writer Beware. This revealing interview outlines everything that authors should know in order to spot unscrupulous agents.

If authors dream of getting published by a New York publishing house, then they're going to need a good agent. Agents are the middlemen (or middlewomen in this case) who make deals for authors, so they can focus on what they do best: write.

C. Hope Clark takes a departure from her monthly column and gets real with WOW! readers. Seeking an agent for her first book, Hope guides readers through the steps it takes to: locate your agent, cull your agent, submit to agents, and wait for their responses.

Each month WOW! features in-depth profiles and interviews with industry professionals, such as author Amy Tan, Ann Moore (CEO, Time, Inc.), editor/publisher Nan A. Talese, literary agent Sandra Dijkstra, aspiring writer/celebrity Tiffani Amber Thiessen, and celebrity Linda Wang. In addition, the eZine offers many monthly columns: a How 2, Writers Markets, Funds for Writers, a Book Review, Author Promotion, and a Freelancer's Corner.
