Today's workshop began with an agent panel with Joanna Stampfel-Volpe of Nancy Coffey Literary and Media Representation and Diane Freed of Fine Print Literary Management. Both were very helpful and interesting to talk to.
Diane Freed emphasized the importance of finding a good match between writer and agent.
Joanna Stampel-Volpe named 3 resources for researching the right agent for you:
AgentQuery
QueryTracker
GLA (the link to the GLA blog is already on this site)
Contrary to some of the debates out there, both admitted a willingness to look at and even represent self-published works (Diane has successfully represented 2 already), though Joanna said that she would be more interested in seeing the newest work by an author who already has a successful self-published novel to his or her credit, as opposed to representing the already-published work.
