Looking for an Agent?

Michael Hyatt at Thomas Nelson has compiled this list of Christian Literary Agents. I haven’t seen such a succinct list with all the contact info in one place before. Huge resource!

I’ve been very blessed in my relationship with the Van Diests and hope to have a fruitful partnership for years to come.

If many names on the lists are unfamiliar to you, three words: Go to conferences! I’ve met a majority of these agents in my six years of conference attending. Even if you research them extensively on the web, there’s nothing like face-to-face contact to show who you have professional chemistry with … and who would be a bad blind date. 😉

This summer I’ll be on staff with the Oregon Christian Writers Summer conference, as well as serving as a professional writer at the walk-in center. Mid-September, I’ll fly to Denver for the American Christian Fiction Writers conference. Hope to see you at one of them!

    Great link to that agent list! I’m going to check it out later, just in case I missed one of them. LOL

    Thanks for the link, Christina. Unfortunately, I won’t be going to either of the conferences you mentioned this year. Maybe someday.

    Blessings,
    Susan 🙂

    Hi Christina,
    I’m going to ACFW too, so hopefully we’ll meet there. 🙂

    You won Amy Clipston’s book A Gift of Grace off my blog. Just send me your snail mail and I’ll get it out to you. Congrats! 🙂

    T. Anne, glad it helps!

    Jessica, hehe. Just keep working through this list, huh? Been there, done that! Can’t wait to see you in Denver.

    Susan, we’ll meet sooner or later. Even if it’s not on this side of heaven. 😉
