Introduction To The World of Blogging

July 23, 2007 on 3:07 am | In Writing Tips |

I want to thank everyone who believed in me when I announced I was going to launch my own literary agency while I know some people did not see it possible. However, I am happy to say after three years of planning I am here with ML Brown & Associates LLC and we are defiantly handling the market like a natural. It has truly been a great year so far kicking off the agency took a lot of hard work but I have to say it was well worth it. To start of the launch of the company I had reached out to friends who were writers and the houses love these guys within the first four months I had well over six manuscripts sold and more clients then I knew what to do with. The reason for this blog was to express my thanks to my clients as well as the literary world but to also give newbie’s information to help them out as they prepare to submit their manuscripts to vary agents and editors. The one thing that I can say that is the most vital piece of information is go to the conferences that are offer even if its to sit in a workshop or to mingle around. People enjoy meeting their fans as well as being around just readers but also as a writer it allows you to really see what its like and what it takes to succeed. Another piece of advice I offer to writers especially those writers who are new NEVER EVER yeah I put in caps because this is very important. Never go to these conferences attempting to solicit writers to read your work instead take your presentation folders and presented it to editors and if a writer asks you what your book is about you can hand them the folder and tell them its all in there. Networking is also important when there is not many literary events going on there are plenty of YAHOO! Groups that vary from writing to simply readers but it allow you to bounce your ideas off people who think like you. I continue to tell writers to use every piece of knowledge that is offered to them because it can be available tool later on.

Keep on the lookout for more tidbits of information to come.
