  • The NWU Literary Agent Agreement” 6/19/08 10:57 PM
    Loading “The NWU Literary Agent Agreement” 6/19/08 10:57 PM The NWU Literary Agent Agreement (Confidential: For NWU members only) Understanding the Author-Agent Relationship A Guide to the NWU Preferred Literary Agent Agreement Introduction This guide is an educational tool for authors who are considering entering into a relationship with a literary agent, or who need help in understanding an existing author- agent agreement. It should be read in conjunction with the National Writers Union Preferred Literary Agent Agreement and used to evaluate or improve any agent agreement you may be asked to sign. Both documents are available to National Writers Union (NWU) members. Deciding to retain an agent is a major decision in any author\'s career. An agent will agree to represent your work because she believes she can sell it to a publisher or publishers. The agent is your representative, whom you hire to market your work, to negotiate your publishing contracts, and to oversee your royalty accounts. In exchange for an agent\'s representation, an author agrees to pay the agent a commission; a commission is a percentage of all income earned from those rights that the agent is able to license. Every author\'s work includes a bundle of individual rights that may be exploited: e.g., hardcover print rights; paperback print rights; electronic database rights; interactive software rights; foreign translation rights; television adaptation rights; audio cassette rights, and so forth. In addition, as new forms of media are created, new rights (e.g., CD-ROM rights) emerge and become valuable. Collectively, these individual rights form the copyright to one\'s work.

The biggest change is the new construction to the fairgrounds. As part of the process halls 29 and 30 have been dismantled, and the exhibitors who usually exhibit there have been moved to halls 21, 22, and 32. “It was a challenge to move everyone, largely because the shape of the halls is different,” says Elena Pasoli, group product manager of the fair. “But it is only for one year.” She notes that halls 29 and 30 will reopen next year, which Silvana Sola, curator of the Children’s Books on Art project will again require another move. “It is a challenge for some and professor of history of illustration at Istituto Superiore publishers, but we really think they are going to love the per le Industrie Artistiche in Urbino, Italy; and others.

  • Electrifying Emotion
    MY ROAD TO TRADITIONAL PUBLICATION David R Slayton - Author WHO AM I? Or better yet, why am I the one teaching this? I’m David R. Slayton. I live in Denver, Colorado. I’ve been writing fantasy, epic, urban, and YA for about a decade now. This year I published my debut novel, White Trash Warlock, with Blackstone Publishing. It’s been a long journey with several books, two agents, and a lot of rejection. I want to share some of what I learned about the process with you and hope that it helps. ABOUT ADVICE As you write and attend workshops, etc. you’re going to get a lot of advice. And you’re going to hear that there’s only one way to do it. This is very wrong. Take all advice, including mine, with skepticism. Keep what helps you. Discard what doesn’t. There is rarely a single solution to publishing or a path forward for your writing. Whatever advice you receive, please don’t let anyone take your writing from you. WHY TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING? First, I want to emphasize that there is nothing wrong with or inherently better or worse about indie versus traditional publishing. There are pros and cons to each. It’s about picking the right path for your work. I chose traditional publishing for specific reasons: I wanted the wider distribution possibilities. I wanted a partner in marketing, promotion, etc. I wanted editors who would make my books stronger. I didn’t want to have to produce my own audiobook. I wanted to be able to submit for a wider array of awards, etc.

  • Faqs from ASPIRING AUTHORS
    FAQS FROM ASPIRING AUTHORS What does ‘no unsolicited submissions’ actually mean? A publisher who doesn’t accept unsolicited material only reads manuscripts sent via a literary agent or scout. Chicken House doesn’t accept unsolicited manuscripts or synopses, nor can we enter into correspondence regarding new authors’ work. Although this can be frustrating for authors, the reality is that it simply isn’t possible for a publisher to sift through the vast number of unsolicited submissions received. However, we do run the Times/Chicken House Children’s Fiction Competition in partnership with the Times newspaper. The winner will go on to have their manuscript published by Chicken House. We guarantee that, provided it meets all entry requirements, your manuscript will be read. I’m new to publishing but I want to send my work out. Who can I send it to? We advise all new children’s authors to consult the latest version of The Children’s Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook, which contains comprehensive listings of credible literary agents and publishers, plus details of the kinds of stories they are looking for. It will also tell you which agents/publishers are currently accepting unsolicited manuscripts. If I find a publisher/literary agent that accepts unsolicited manuscripts, how can I make my work stand out before I send it off? Ensure that your work is in tip-top condition – edit your book to the best of your ability, proofread it and ensure it’s immaculately presented. Learn how to write a pithy, engaging synopsis and a brief, polite and noteworthy covering letter.

  • Literary Agents Who Represent Christian Authors.Pages
    Updated:! 7/15/14 !1 FOREWORD! Thanks for downloading this resource guide. I don’t know of anything else like it available anywhere. Let me tell you how it came about.! Several years ago, when I was the Chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, I was routinely asked by authors for agent recommendations. Like nearly all publishers today, we didn’t accept unsolicited proposals or manuscripts. They had to be referred by a literary agent. ! That put me in a quandary. As the largest Christian publisher in the world, we did business with all the agents. I didn’t want to recommend my personal favorites and risk alienating the others. Instead, I wanted to refer aspiring authors to an official list of recognized agents. From there, they could make their own connections.! Only one problem: I couldn’t find such a list anywhere. As a result, I decided to create one.! Using my blog, I put out a call for interested agents to submit their contact information to me. In order to ensure that I only included legitimate, experienced agents, I required each one to provide a list of at least three clients for whom they had secured traditional publishing contracts.! I published that first list in 2007. I have updated it every year since then. The resource you are reading now contains every agent active in the Christian book publishing market today. (The only exception are two or three agents who are currently not accepting new clients.) My goal is to save you the enormous effort it would take to create this list on your own.! Now, before you start emailing or contacting the agents on this list, let me provide a few suggestions:! Updated:! 7/15/14 !2 1.
