Connect with an agent

Finding an agent is the next step in getting your book published. While there are many ways to connect with an agent, you will usually have to start by creating or finding something worth publishing. For example, if you write about how-to guides for making tea bags, then agents who represent craft books can offer you some advice and representation as they know what that genre of writing is like. Agents typically require at least an email address and phone number so that they can communicate properly while representing you and said that what is a ghost writer. After that, it’s up to them whether they want to be represented by you or not! There are many ways to find an agent, and most have their own guidelines and rules around applying. But once you get past the initial applications, things move pretty quickly, especially now with all the tools available online.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
