  • Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents
    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

  • Women in the Civil War
    Women in the Civil War Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote in her autobiography that “the story of the Civil War will never be fully written if the achievements of women are left untold.”1 Of course, women played a very major role at home while their men went off to war. For many women, their son or sons, their husband, etc. would never return alive. Of course, with the men off fighting, the women had to run the farm, for example, and take full responsibility for the children. Unlike any previous war, women played an enormous part in the lives of soldiers’ family and home lives, and they had a significant hand in how the War progressed and eventually ended.2 Probably all of you would be able to point out that many women were nurses during the Civil War. That was an important role for many women. Did you know, however, that some women also were spies, undercover soldiers, vivandieres, laundresses, newspaper writers, housing troops etc.? 3 Let’s begin with the nursing role. At the outset of the war, thousands of women left their homes to take care of dying soldiers. At first, many men and even many doctors were angered by this new role. They felt that it was unlady-like for women to care for naked and enlisted men. As the war raged on, however, with the increasing casualties, the demand for women nurses skyrocketed. Even those doctors who had protested so loudly against women in the operating rooms with them had to silence themselves. Northern women organized the United States Sanitary Commission which ran kitchens, distributed medical supplies and inspected army camps to ensure a standard of cleanliness.

  • “Dead Channel”: Writing Cyberpunk
    “Dead Channel”: Writing Cyberpunk Daniel “Dann” Lewis, B.A. (Hons) Submitted in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University June 2017 Acknowledgements My thesis would not be possible without the love and guidance of my intelligent and lovely supervisors Ann Vickery and Sean Redmond. They have dealt with me for the past four years and have helped me grown into the writer I am today. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I feel, so hopefully top-billing in the acknowledgements section helps to convey my heaping admiration for them. A special thank you to Christopher Moore for helping me cultivate my ideas. Though our time together was short-lived, I will always remember gaming and talking about Frank Herbert’s Dune with him in his office covered with posters of The Dark Crystal and Adventure Time. I’d be remiss if I ignored the diligence of the library staff at Deakin University for sending me many a book through the mail. For every book, paper and overdue notice sent, I thank you. And finally, my family, fiancée Heather Funk, and friends—I thank you for the love, encouragement, support and kindness. Without all of you, I would likely be institutionalised by now.
