Manuscript Wish List - Literary Agents and Book Genres
Wed Apr 17, 2019 6:48 am
So I'm back to sending my novel out after a good polish and agents are very specific about their desires and how we, as authors, need to reach them.
Most agency sites have "Submission Guidelines" - so be sure to read these before contacting your preferred agent.
It's ideal to search and send your query letters by genre. First you'll need to know what genre you're writing in - Fiction or non-fiction? And then below that there are many categories.
Here's a link to lists of genres so you can begin to identify your own: https://book-genres.com/book-genre-finder/fiction-genres/
Or non-fiction: https://book-genres.com/book-genre-finder/fiction-genres/
For kids: https://book-genres.com/book-genre-finder/book-genres-for-kids/
NOW THE GOOD STUFF -
Here's the Literary Agent's Wish List link - http://www.manuscriptwishlist.com/
It lists details about agents and what they're looking for.
Happy writing and happy querying!
