craven et al...literary agents

I have never heard of an agent looking at unfinished and unsolicited work.

Unless they know you it goes to a pile for reading on a slow day. Before it's finished you can give an outline of what it would be but for the best shot I think you should finish it first.

But I am no pro in this field.

thanks...i knew it was a long shot....but.............what the heck...back to the grind....

good luck gc... keep writing... my partner has finished 2 books of poetry, and we have had the first one already to publishers who wanted it, BUT wanted 85% to 15%... They get the 85% plus wanted $15,000 up front... Run in Steven Spilbergs words from any company asking you for money up front, which entails all publishing houses... We have been the last 2 years working to put together the $10,000 for printing and we are doing everything else which leaves all the money made in our hands, just takes time.. We have formed our own company, and will get the money to print his books and then we want to start publishing new artists so that the artist actually makes the bulk of the mone... That is how it should be... If you believe in your book keep writing and don't give up...

The advice you have recieved seems right on to me. The less amateurish you present yourself, the better likelihood of recieving a proper read.

oh i don't intend to stop...if for nothing else, i like what i'm writing...just wanted to by-pass a little pain....
