MATCHMAKERS for
writers
(Updated 3/29/2011)
At Agent Research our job is to direct you to the literary agent who is
right for your work at this stage in your career, whether you're
writing your twentieth book or your first.
- CUSTOMIZED REPORTS.
We
learn
about
you
and
your
book
through an exchange of email and, if you
like, telephone contacts. Then, using our wide experience of publishing
and literary agents, we produce a highly individualized, nuanced and
in-depth report. We tell you who is selling what you're writing and how
well they're doing it. And we help you design an approach to the
literary agents we recommend.
- LEGITIMATE AGENTS ONLY. No
one we recommend charges any type
of upfront reading fee, marketing fee, evaluation fee or any other fee,
apart from a commission on work sold.
- At this site, we operate on
the principle that if your work
is publishable you can get a real agent. If it isn't, no agent can help
you. If that philosophy jibes with yours, please stay and look around.
- Our Services will show you how to use
our
information to assist you in getting the vital data and making the
right choice.
What kind of
RESEARCH?
AR&E's database
has been in the making since 1980 and includes:
- pretty
much
every
active
literary
agent
in
the
U.S.,
the
U.K.,
and
Canada
- thousands
of
authors
and
many
thousands
of
their
deals
- the
$
figures
-
when
we
know,
which
is
often,
we
show
you
the
money
- information
culled
from
the
public
record
-
largely
the
trade
and
general
press
and
Internet
to-the-trade
sites.

more about how and why we began accumulating this mountain of data,

What kind of EVALUATION?
Once you separate the
charlatans from the legitimate authors' representatives, the vital
question becomes which of these literary agents is right for you and
your work at this stage of your career.
- Our
reports
draw
not
just
on
our
research,
but
on
the
intimate
knowledge
of
everything
to
do
with
literary
agents
that
comes
from
a
decade
of
advising
authors
about
their
representational
needs.Only
another
writer
-
one
who
has
been
writing
and
publishing
for
many
years
and
many
books
-
can
discern
your
authorial
voice,
and
know
how
important
it
is
that
any
agent
you
approach
be
likely
to respond to it. At AR&E we have
that capability in house. (Again see Who We
Are.)
We
go
way
beyond
the
simple
questions
of
fiction
or
non-fiction,
meant
for
kids
or
adults.
We
listen
to
you
and
to
your
work,
and
we
respond
to
those
harmonies.Explore
and
enjoy our site, and don't forget to
visit the Story So Far to learn about
other
writers who have used our services. We hope we'll soon have the
opportunity to work with you.
