Title: Not a book about getting an agent
Review: Unfortunately, the editorial synopsis hits it right on the head: Not much of this book (only one chapter) is actually devoted to getting an agent. The rest is about what agents do, how to interact with your agent, etc.The VAST majority of people who buy this book will want to learn how to actually obtain an agent. This is a reasonable desire considering the book's misleading title. However, the book basically tells you:1. Look in books with agent lists 2. Try contacting a writers' association for agent lists 3. Write a good query letter 4. Try to contact new agents instead of proven onesTo which I reply: DUH! Tell me something I don't know!The book itself is well written, but ultimately, who cares if it doesn't tell you the things it purports to? Why would anyone care what agents do during their lunch hour if they don't actualy have one yet?
Is the review positive or negative?
