Re: Are you writing your novel this year? - 02/26/07 07:12 PM
Does anyone have thoughts on how to get an agent? I completed 3 romance novels many years ago and just sent them off to publishers. got back some nice responses but "they aren't for us". At least they did respond-lol.
I wouldn't want to try the cold call approach to a publisher again but have no idea how to get an agent either.
How about writer's groups? any thoughts on whether they are helpful or not? I'm talking about groups like Romance Writers of America or Mystery WRiters of America type groups. I was part of a small writers group once and we just sat around patting each other on the back but not much real criticism.
