I spent some time today looking at the websites of agents trying to find out who represents some of the writers I like or I think might have agents interested in what I write. Very difficult! So many of them are not taking on anyone new and others say so little about what they do I am wary. <br />Vanessa that is a very good idea - but I do not know any writers here. I used to but they have died or long since moved on out of my life! I'll work on it.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-11173752432516431812011-03-06T19:18:27.793+10:302011-03-06T19:18:27.793+10:30I admire your tenacity, Cat.

(If that agent is right/suitable, for your work, of course.) I am eternally grateful to the friend who recommended me to mine.<br /><br /> I have done the same for others. So far, one writer has been taken on, two rejected. In these difficult days, thats not bad.Vanessa Gebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088301040602803489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-67957787720125975862011-03-06T18:46:57.513+10:302011-03-06T18:46:57.513+10:30Finding the right agent is hard.
