Book.......2007-10-06
I ordered 2 books, I was immediately informed by email that one of the books was not available and the other would ship in about 10 days. The book came in ten days and was in perfect condition. All in all a pleasant experiance.
Guide to Literary Agents 2007.......2007-09-13
The book was informative and was what I needed. I will purchase the 2008 edition unless I get an agent before then for my novel.
Helpful for New Writers.......2007-08-16
As a writer with little experience in trying to find an agent, this book has been very helpful to me. The information is up-to-date and accurate in regard to all those agents I have queried. Most of the agents have responded to correspondence within the time frame stated in the book, and I also found the pointers on how to write a synopsis very helpful, although not all agents want a synopsis quite as long as the implied page length in the article. Overall, though, the book has helped me a lot.
Great Guide.......2007-08-08
These Writer's Digest guides are just indispensable. Though I have an earlier edtion of this work, the one edited by Rachel Vater, I feel I can safely say, they are astonishingly well organized and easy to use guides through what can feel like the labyrinthine process of finding an agent. There is so much more than just lists of agents in these books, you are sure to feel heartened, and quite professional as you gather knowledge of just what a winning query letter looks like, what it contains, and just as importantly, what it does not. Lists of conferences, and also articles that help you learn what you can expect from your agent, and she/he from you.
Another source of information among many...........2007-06-24
The purpose of the book is to use it as a GUIDE. It's a REFERENCE guide. Not a promise of getting an agent. Even an encyclopedia is dated just as soon it's published, but does that mean people should stop using it?
It's up to the writer to do the leg work. I match up agents that I've found on the web that are WGA(e)/WGA(w) signatory, but I don't have their complete submission guidelines. I cross reference information found on the internet with the book. Before I mail anything, I call (remember the book lists agents phone numbers) to ensure the requirements are still the same. If they are, I go forth and do great things. If not, I inquire about the correct requirements and still I go forth and do great things. If the number is wrong, I keep it moving by (x)ing that agent off my list ang guess what...I go forth and go great things.
Just remember, this book is not going to make an agent:
1. Open your submission. If an agent decides to not open your submission, what does that have to do with the book. NOTHING. The book can't make an agent open their mail.
2. Reject your submission.
3. Like your submission if they do read your query letter.
My recommendation is to get this book as soon as it's published for the new year. You can pre-order the 2008 edition now. Agents in the book, if they are new to the book, will usually have the most current information. It's always good to have other sources to cross reference the information found in this book.
Good Luck!
(PS. I think it's kinda of funny how the review below mine, states that a person can get their submission returned UNOPENED, then call to find out the guidelines have changed, so that's why it was returned UNOPENED. My question is...if the package is UNOPENED, how would the agent know the submission didn't meet the correct required guidelines?)
Hey that's not the book's fault...that's the writer's fault for NOT doing a thorough reference check before spending the money to mail off a package!

A Helping Hand I found.......2007-06-11
I needed guidance after writing my fictional novel, The Skye in June, and this book help soothe my fears that I would never be published. Suggestions and examples of how to write a proposal, inquiry letter and so much industry information are included. Ease your worries if you are planning on being published - or self publish, and read this book.
Book is good, publishing biz is bad.......2006-11-20
After reading several revews, I can say that the problem is not Jeff Herman's book, but the publishing business itself. My comments are really about non-fiction but there is some truth in this for fiction writers as well. I used his book to send query letters, found an agent, my agent sold my book--but the advance is so tiny I can't afford to write the book. I'm single, I'm not going to inherit anything, I'm not a trust fund kid, and my book was apparently deemed less important than a celebrity tell-all. My advice? Be smart if you want to earn a living writing. Follow the example of that writer who spent FIFTEEN YEARS writing a bioghraphy of J.P. Morgan because her advance was so generous. And she lived off of the advance in New York City, no les! Why did she write about J.P.? Because she admired him? Had some experience in investing? Knew him personally? No, no, no. She wrote about him because all the Wall Street guys who will buy the book hoping to become rich like J.P. did are the reason her advance was so large. Publishing is a business, plain and simple.
Help for those who might be helped .......2005-11-11
This guide will be bought by far more people who will not be helped by it , than who will be helped by it. The great majority including myself will look for the magical way to find the agent, the editor who will want and accept their writing. They will learn the right way to do this, the right way to write a proposal. But having learned all that they will probably not succeed in having their manuscript published.
Beyond this , those who can be eternally grateful to Jeff Herman for providing the formula for success, are those who actually will have a book published. For the overwhelming majority of them this will not bring honor, fame, wealth in anything at all like their secret hope and expectation. If not publishing is a disappointment, then publishing may even be a bigger one.
Nonetheless, we all live by hope. This book is clearly written, instructs the fledgling writer on the way to make it in the world.
It is one of the most popular of these guides, and has helped make at least one person's fortune i.e. Jeff Herman.
Take it from a best-selling author of 12 books: You can use this book!.......2005-08-30
Every year or two I buy an updated copy of Mr. Herman's book, and it's always a great investment.
I sell most of my books to publishers, directly. Perhaps 6 of my 12 books were sold to individuals I found in Herman's editions.
Herman's book provides me with an up-to-date listing of editors who can acquire my titles, along with their phone numbers, and topical interests.
I can't tell you how much time his research saves me, especially when I'm shopping an idea for a new project.
If you want to sell something, it pays to have a great, "smart" list, and that's what Herman's book provides.
And you should know this--I sell my books by telephone, first, and then follow-up with written material--contrary to Herman's advice. But then you'd expect as much from the best-selling author of REACH OUT & SELL SOMEONE and YOU CAN SELL ANYTHING BY TELEPHONE!

Helpful, but not a "complete" refereance.......2007-07-23
This book is definitely helpful, but I wouldn't call it "complete". I was hoping to see information about airline ticket class codes, and the list of tour companies & cruise lines is by no means complete. I would say it's "okay" but most of the resources can easily be searched for online in the same amount of time it would take to open the book & find the correct page.

good book, good source to find travel inf for travel agents
Great tool for home travel business.......2007-03-13
I love and it's more than I bargain for. Down side I wish there were tabs to seperate each section for easier referance. It's a must have for new home based travel agents.

There's an easier (and cheaper) way.......2005-05-26
The addresses and phone numbers in this book are handy, but this is not the way to find an agent or publisher. Instead, visit the largest bookstore in your area and take a look at the books they sell that are in your genre. Look in the "Acknowledgments" section of each book and you are almost certain to find the names of the author's agent and the book's editor. Those are the agents and editors who are most likely to know about your subject and its chances of being published. Find those people using an online white pages or yellow pages site (anywho.com, dogpile.com, etc.) and give them a call. If they are receptive to your idea, send them a formal proposal.
I have to agree with those who have suggested that publication of a book like this by someone in the business smacks of exploitation. As one other reviewer noted, the author is an agent - call him up and see how receptive he is to you. You might as well try looking for Elvis in the supermarket.
If you are a serious writer...skip this reference book.......2004-04-06
This book really sucked! Save your money! The I have tried to contact Mr. Herman about some of the problems I have encountered with the contact addresses he provided. He has yet to respond, meanwhile, I have wasted valuable postage for addresses that are incorrect or not in existance. One other note, many of the persons contacted were not accepting new talent, and hadn't been for quite sometime.
Save your money for something truly up to date!.......2003-10-28
I'm an editor (prefer to remain anonymous) who found my name as well as the names of my colleagues listed as working for publishing houses we left years ago. (I left my old house in 1998!) Stick to the professional directories or at least always call to confirm staff names.
Sure, the information in this book is current if.......2003-07-31
Sure, the information in this book is current if your potential agent is doing a life term in Sing Sing. But of the five queries I sent out based on the information in this book, two were just unanswered and three came back addressee unknown. Maybe I picked the only five bad addresses in the book, or maybe current it isn't.
There's only one reason to buy this book.......2003-07-17
The contempt the author has for writers and the contempt so many of the agents have for writers is the real theme of this book. If you want names and addresses, use the internet. If you want a book that can actually help you get published, read The Square Guide to Publishing Your Non-fiction Book by Rudy Shur.

Customer Reviews:
THIS SEEMS TO BE A GREAT RESOURCE. .......2006-06-29
I haven't actually tried to submit anything using this book but I am going to begin sending out query letters using information from this book. Because I haven't actually used the information in the book I can't say what kind of results it will garner but that would probably depend more on my material and letters than the information in this book. There are a lot of advice articles and I can saw that my letters and approach is going to be much better than it would have been had I not bought this book. I think the book is worth the price that I paid for it for the articles alone much less the contact information for which the book is really intended.
Excellent Resource!.......2005-05-27
All of Writer's Digest resource books are excellent. If you think about it, where else would this vital industry contact information be available? I'm getting irritated with "Quack's" comments on every Writer's Digest review page. He obviously never sent a query or manuscript to an agent (as he probably can't write one to begin with) because I've had a lot of luck sending queries, proposals, and manuscripts to agents and publishers who "say" they aren't accepting new authors, etc. I have one book deal in the works because I sent my proposal to a publisher who clearly stated, "No new authors." So Quack needs to get a life, learn how to write, and stop being such a kill joy. He'll never be a successful writer...or a successful anything. He's just too pessimistic. If you're serious about writing, you need all of the contacts and resources you can get. This book will get you started on the right path.
The Path to Getting Published.......2005-04-21
In today's publishing world, acquiring an agent is perhaps the most difficult task a writer faces - even more difficult than getting an manuscript published. The 2005 Guide to Literary Agents provides essential guidance to those who have a finished and polished book manuscript or script, and who wish to find representation. While this book won't make the process easy, its helpful listings and articles will direct writers toward the best agents for their work.
Unlike many of the Writer Digest Books guides, this one contains valuable information in its articles: "FAQs About Agents"; "Author-Agent Etiquette"; "Agents Share Their Secrets"; "How to Find the Right Agent"; "How Do I Contact Agents"; "The Art of the Synopsis"; and more. Of course, the listings themselves, of over 600 literary agents, constitute the bulk of the book. Each entry contains contact info, what kind of material the agents represents, terms, and, often, recent sales. Near the end, the editors provide a section on writers' conferences, where many authors meet their eventual agents. (Note that many agents do not wish to be listed in this book because of the volume of submissions it generates.)
If you want to get your book published by a major publisher, you must have an agent. Publishers now rely on agents to screen manuscripts for them, to weed out the unprofessional and the boring, so that when you acquire an agent, you've conquered a large part of the battle. Beyond that, however, you'll need an agent who has extensive connections within publishing, who knows exactly which editors like your kind of material, and how to present your work in the best possible light. Finding that agent among the listings here won't be easy, but at least Writers Digest Books will give you a gentle push in the right direction.
Highly recommended for those who already have a polished book manuscript or script. For those who aren't yet ready to find representation, save your money for next year's guide.
don't listen to duck quack.......2005-03-13
I am purchasing this because a friend of mind had last years edition in her library. If you do anything Duck Quack tells you to do, you will be thrown out of any publishing house in America. All of it is rude, crass and will not get you any closer to acheiving your goal. Read this book and many others, take it's advice, and stay within the realm of professional, responsible behavior--then the rest of us will not have to read complaints from editors and publishers about pushy, difficult writers who think they deserve special treatment and don't follow protocol.
The emperor's new clothes.......2005-02-09
In fairness this is a guide to literary agents. No doubt. The catch is the premise that from this book one can pitch his or her's manuscript. Well the pitch can be made but it will not be read. You will get your response with a dear john "your project" card. (They cannot even find the time to write down the title of your book.) Why is this? Why do the agents allow their names' and adresses' in these books. It's vanity, all vanity. Now they have a new gimmick. It's advice. "I'm too busy, have too many clients anyhow, have you tried Writer's Market??? That's the kiss off. Er, please never send me anything again. A few will actually mention that the three chapters that they requested in their advertising blurb and you sent them were disposed of unread. So what to do? Call them up. Call'em. Find out if they want to read your stuff or not. Better yet get on a program of meeting agents and editors. This is all about money, not creativity. Maybe you can bribe a credible editor (not an agent) to read your work. (I know everybody tells you not to do this.) Sometimes you have to succomb to extream measures. You're a creator, be creative. But save your copying dough and your envelopes and the postage and the time and give these agents a call. If they don't have time to take your call they certainly dont have time to read your stuff. Be tough.
Book Description
Finding the right agent can be a bewildering, frustrating and byzantine process for beginners and experienced writers alike. How do you tell a good agent from a bad agent? What's the best way to approach an agent? What exactly does an agent do? In The Agents Directory, editor-turned-agent Rachel Vater answers these questions and more.
Unlike guides that have readers sifting through page after page of listings of agencies that aren't accepting new writers, won't read manuscripts, or will charge money up-front, The Agents Directory offers an exclusive guide to the best literary and script agents looking for new clients. Each listing provides detailed, up-to-date information about the type of work each agent accepts, clients he or she represents, recent sales, contact information, and the best way to submit work.
Detailed instructions for writing a query letter, complete with sample queries, help readers make a great impression on an agent. A bonus directory to writing conferences across the US and Canada provides networking opportunities with other writers, agents, and editors. The Agents Directory also includes an extensive list of writer’s organizations — invaluable resources to support a commitment to writing.

Seek help elsewhere........2007-07-26
Poor attention to detail permeates the book and it would have been much better to leave scripts/screenplays out of the book entirely. At best they comprise only an after thought in any given section. An excellent example of how little attention is paid to screenwriting can be found in the index. Under `Script Agents Format Index' if you cross reference the agencies in the 'Feature Film' list to their entries in the `Agent Directory Section' you'll find that three agencies are missing entirely and two specifically do not represent screenplays.
Despite the poor editing, some of the advice is useful particularly on query letters. I also think that the tips for submission that are specific to the agencies are a nice touch even if they are frequently redundant. However, the useful material only comprises a small section of the book (approximately 50 pages); the rest is dedicated to the directory and woefully inaccurate index.

A veritable compendium of insider information .......2005-03-07
In The Agents Directory: Everything You Need To Know To Sell Your Book Or Script by editor-turned-agent Rachel Vater is a veritable compendium of insider information on what a literary agent does, instructions on how to tell a good agent from a bad one, and practical advice on how to approach an agent by mail or at a writer's conference. Avoiding agencies that won't accept new writers or who will charge novice writers money up-front just to read their manuscript, The Agents Directory focuses upon identifying the best literary and script agents who are looking for new author clients. Each individual listing is complete with detailed, up-to-date information about what type of work that particular agent accepts, other authors represented, recent sales, contract information, and submission guidelines. With detailed instructions for writing query letters (complete with examples), a bonus directory of American and Canadian writing conferences, an an extensive list of writer's organizations, The Agents Directory is the the ideal guidebook and instructional reference for aspiring writers wanting to get their work published as profitably as possible.

This is a great book offering guidelines to publishers and agents and is an excellent companion to the CWIM. If you write kidlit and want to be published, get an agent or find out the latest guidelines for magazine and book publishers, this book often has more in its listings than the CWIM.

Best market book for agents!.......2002-11-23
This book is the most excellent at giving current information about children's literary agents. Top notch agents are listed here among the hard hitting NY agents. Their submission guidelines are sometimes given along with their websites, email, and tastes! What more can you ask?
It's not as good for publishing markets, but it's a must have if a writer is serious about getting an agent.
Maybe it's good for a writer?.......2002-11-18
Well,.. I purchased this book hoping to get a more direct view of the children's illustration market. I'm used to books like "The Artist's and Graphic Designer's Market" who give consistent information about each publisher. This book seems to ask each publisher a different set of questions, and certainly few benefit the illustrator. If you're looking for a good market book stick to the one I mentioned above, I think you'll find it much more useful.
Book Description
The Bible for actors who take their business seriously, The New York Agent Book is the prototype for any actor's guide to agents.

A great place to start in your search for an agent.......2001-10-22
K Callan has produced a series of entertaining, common sense, well-researched books on the acting industry and this is definitely one of them. Full of quotes from agents across New York, it contains insights and suggestions into likes and dislikes of agents, tips on how to get an agent to pay attention, what to look for in an agent and much more. If you're starting your agent search or looking for new representation, it's worth a look.
pretty good.......2000-07-17
ok, i am having trouble getting an agent but this book helped, it specified what an agent does, and what agent you want depending on your career choice. this book seemed to be mostly acting oriented but it had some good info for models too. the one thing i didn't find helpful about this book was that it didn't specify what each particular agency was looking for. it only talked about who started the agency and their background. this book can point people in the right direction for getting into the business but it can't really get you an agent.

Still a Winner.......2003-05-10
When I marketed work for Writers' Showplace I always used Jeff Herman's book as a reference. Now that Writers' Showplace has closed its door I've opened another business, The Writer's Guide.Com and I still have Mr. Herman's book close at hand.
On the other hand.......2002-12-30
This is a huge and expensive book. It's also, for my purposes, terribly out of date. Several of the agents I've contacted have moved or are longer in the business. It has some very good features such as the advice section but I could've gotten the same advice for free from the internet. As other reviewers have noted there is an easier and cheaper way to get writing information. Pick up a book that is similar to the stuff that you write. Go to the dedication or thanks page and read it. Many authors thanks their agents and editors. Write down those names and track them down. It takes more time but it's easier on your pocketbook and will probably be more accurate.
Next year I will by the Writer's Market book instead.
