Insider's Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents, 1996-1997

Editorial Review:

No other book gives aspiring authors the inside scoop on the names and specialties of acquisitions editors. This vital information makes all the difference when submitting a book proposal or manuscript by keeping writers of all genres on top of the rapidly changing world of publishing. Who's moved where, who's new to the scene, who's gone for good--it's all here in one big volume.

An encyclopedic volume of names, addresses, and phone numbers of editors, publishers and agents, and their areas of interest. The directory of literary agents is particularly impressive: Herman has somehow managed to extract an enormous amount of truly valuable information from the best agents in the business about their backgrounds (professional and personal), fees, interests, and enmities. Highly recommended to all serious writers!
