Insider’s Guide to Securing a Literary Agent
Are you sick of sending out your query letter or manuscript day after day and getting ignored? I hear you! (Been there, done that myself!) Agents are overwhelmed with submissions, are pickier (that’s right more subjective) than ever, and are all-to-eager to toss your manuscript aside.
FACT: Many major literary agencies receive between 1,000 and 5,000 submissions a month. That’s over 100 queries a day. No one can keep up with that! Of those1,000 queries an agency might request to see more work from 15… and then sign only one or two in any given quarter.
And this figure isn’t something we made up…it isn’t even our own research.
This is straight from the agent’s mouth via several blogs on absolutewrite.com.
So, let’s say you bust your hump and get your manuscript out to 50 agents worth their salt. There’s only a 1 in 100 chance on any given day yours will even get read at all!
Okay, given the skimpy odds, how do I get my query letter actually read and even have a chance to be in the game for publication?
Because it’s easier than ever in the digital age for the “average Joe” with a laptop to crank out a manuscript (good or bad), agents are simply overwhelmed.
Is there a system or “hack” that will give your manuscript the attention from a good agent it deserves?
Great question! There IS a way, and that’s exactly what this page is all about…

I have been there! I feel your pain. I have personally written dozens of queries, (accumulated dozens of rejections) talked to many agents, have many now-famous Best Selling Author friends and colleagues (hello Elizabeth Gilbert, hello Cheryl Strayed, hello Dani Shapiro!) who have broken the barrier!
So rather than despair, I got to work…
