  • Does anyone know an honest Literary Agent for childrens books and how to contact them?

    Posted by admin on March 31st, 2010 and filed under childrens books | 3 Comments »

    I have written a couple of childrens stories and would like some information on agents that I could show my work to. Do not think that I am a fool and will be suckered in, so if you are a crook do not waste my or your time. Thanks

    There are several different literary agents guides out on the market. Your local library or bookstore would have one. They list the kinds of materials each agent is interested in taking on.

    Check with the Preditors & Editors website before you submit anything, to make sure there haven’t been any complaints filed against them. Also, take a step away if the agent asks you for any money upfront (especially for "editing fees"). Agents are supposed to make money by earning a percentage of your proceeds from the sale of your book. They don’t take on clients that they think they can’t sell.

      Your best bet is to go to a library and ask there. They keep lists of publishers and how to get in contact with them. They won’t cheat you and can help quite a bit. Good luck!
