Agent blogs every writer should check out

Do agents seem a little mystical to you? Do you ever wish you knew what they were thinking? Do you wonder what the answer is to that supreme question all writers have: How do I snag an agent?

I don’t have a direct path to their brains, but here’s the next best thing. Check out these blogs written by actual successful – and knowledgeable – literary agents.

From Nathan’s blog:  I'm a literary agent with the San Francisco office of Curtis Brown Ltd., a New York based literary agency that has been representing writers since 1914. I'm particularly interested in literary fiction, mysteries and suspense, historical fiction, narrative nonfiction, business, history, sports, politics, current events, young adult fiction, science fiction and anything else I happen to like!

From the WordServe web site: Like any agency, we are not staffed or designed to help every type of author.

From the MacGregor Literary web site: One day when he was in first grade, Chip hurried home and announced to his mother, "When I grow up, I’m going to be a book guy!" And he has been a book guy—from high school literary magazine to bestselling books, from conference speaker to an unbeatable track record of representing renowned writers. Creating MacGregor Literary was a natural step for a book guy.

From the blog: A nice Midwesterner breaks free of her genteel upbringing and says what's on her mind--politely of course--some habits are really hard to break. And one last thing, Pub Rants is shorthand for Publishing Rants. No Irish Pub involved--unless you want one to be!
