Find out who is selling what to whom. I wish I'd known about this before signing with my former agent. It's especially great for Twitter pitch sessions. That agent who favourited your mystery book pitch? Well, if PM tells you she's only had success selling non-fiction, she's probably not your best bet.<br /><br />It costs to subscribe, but it's worth every penny.J.H.

I was so naive in the beginning but now, with careful research, we can avoid scams easier. I've decided mostly to use references for my writing and also to hire a professional editor. It makes matters easier for me and also a guarantee that my material will get read. I wish you the best Samantha :)Erika Beebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899619461035583262noreply@blogger.com
