Chip MacGregor is an intuitive and experienced book agent – literary agent. His web site, or blog, actually, is a font of specific and accurate information for writers and authors who want to sell their writing.
My advice, book mark MacGregor’s blog and visit it often. It seems to be a great spot to get the right information when you have general questions about the book business. He periodically fields questions from writers and answers them in a blog post. He writes dead-on tips for marketing your book, selling your fiction, and generally moving about the cabin of the huge bus that is the book industry.
I’ll also point you to a blog called the Guide to Literary Agents. The writer, Chuck Sambuchino, is another veteran and has solid information. One comment on his blog mechanics — you’ll find links to nowhere, broken links, and no links at all where you might expect to find them. Overlook that and learn from his blog.
One more resource, in brief. You’ll hear a lot from me in coming weeks about Claudia Suzanne – to my mind, the penultimate ghost writer – and her Secrets of a Ghost Writer course. I’m enrolled right now – and finding this to be the best distance learning class I have ever taken – and I have taken many. The level of information is post-grad quality. The intensity of the work is extreme – if you don’t learn a lot here, you just are not trying. She will teach you inside stuff that you plain can’t get elsewhere. Since ghosting is the fastest up and coming revenue stream for writers, you may seriously want to evaluate the idea of taking her course, becoming certified, and solidifying your ability to make a living with your pen. Or your keyboard, anyway.
