I recently subscribed to Agent Hunter, a website designed to
help authors search for agents, agencies and publishers.
The appearance of the website is very attractive and the
links are clear and easy to follow.
There are over 100 agents and agencies listed, and the
search can be narrowed down, either by keywords, or size of agency, or
preferences of agent, etc.
It is sortable and very practical.
There is a wealth of information on each agent, in fact
sometimes I felt there was too much redundant information.
The site offers a handy list of FAQ’s about publishers to
help determine if you need an agent or a publisher.
I am still plowing my way through the agents interested in
my genre. Be aware this is a UK site and the agents and agencies listed are
based in the UK. However the majority seem to accept overseas authors.
As a Canadian I was amused to see that when I narrowed down
the publishers of romance, up popped Harlequin-a great Canadian company of
course.
Annual subscription is 12 pounds sterling, but you can try
before you buy. However, in the trial version almost all the pertinent information
about agents is blurred out.
