My writer friend Jo Moran directed me to a great looking-for-an-agent site.  It´s www.agentquery.com.  It has up-to-the-minute information about whether the agent you are interested in is accpeting queries, and what his/her current interests are.  It also include addresses and emails. 
I plugged in Memoir, and was perusing the agents who say they are interested in memoir, when all of the sudden one stood out.  It´s a gal in New York who SPEAKS FLUENT SPANISH! 
Sent my query for my Mexican memoir, Fast Break South off to her today.  She studied in Spain.  We´ll see if she has an interest in Mexico too.
I'll keep my fingers crossed :)
ReplyDeleteI would say agents want to get paid like most folks and in this market, economy, dying print age, they don't want to take a chance.
ReplyDeleteI forget what publisher are still in Philly.
Once upon a time Westminster, Chilton and a few others did local books. Have you tried any?
Que Bueno!! Your perfect love match is out there!
