Mercy! Mercy! That Dang Nabed PERCY!

Agenting

Agenting

I have this book, Jeff Herman’s Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, and Literary Agents. I read it for several hours last night and got discouraged. There was only one Agent I would consider submitting a query letter to.

The whole tone they conveyed was don’t contact me I am too busy to be bothered.

What got me started on reading this huge guide was an idea that if one of my students produces what I consider to be a production quality play I might help them through the process of getting it staged. Also in the back of my mind is the doing some amateur agenting here at WDC. There are some quality manuscripts being written that will never see the light of day if they aren’t agented or at least intelligently presented to a publisher.

Anyway I need to get off my duff and go cut some wood. I ran out this winter and resolved to cut a little every day rather than try and do it all in September. I also need to spend some time working on my pick-up Studebaker... not to mention my class which is beginning to show some promise.
