The publishing guide industry leaders recommend most, now completely updated with a new reader-friendly format.

5 out of 5 stars Informative and useful   July 3, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Jeff's book is one of the best available for authors seeking to be published. Not only it provides a useful, updated directory of agents and publishers, it also includes very relevant and practical advice on submissions, query letters and book proposals, especially the unsolicited kind.

5 out of 5 stars The Frustrations of Marketing Writing   April 22, 2010
Rita Robinson Brown (Tucson, AZ.)
As a writer, who is compelled to write, and to attempt to publish, I ordered Jeff Herman's Guide. Thousands of possible contacts are listed along with a series of pep talk essays by writers and Herman: the Guide offers a plan of "How to Win Them Over! - Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents." I plunged into the book and then felt sucked in by the quicksand of hope. I am stalled;I am stuck and I am sinking. I must open up my Jeff Herman Guide and make a plan for contacting agents. As the Arizona Lottery slogan states:"You Can't Win if You Don't Play." I appreciate having access to the printed word, the pages of a book in this electronic age.


5 out of 5 stars Buy it!   March 12, 2010
Limari R. Colon Medina (Puerto Rico)
This book was a recommendation from author Sara Zarr. I can't believe how many amazing details are in there. Combine this book with A Guide to Literary Agents by Chuck Sambuchino, and you'll be ready to tackle the market.


5 out of 5 stars Thank Goodness for Jeff Herman   February 7, 2010
Mat Zucker (New York, NY)
Many people recommended this guide to me for advice about professional writing, but until I got + read this tomb, I didn't see fully appreciate why they were so emphatic about it.

The detailed interviews with agents give you a nuanced understanding of what people are looking for and how to approach a professional career in writing and publishing. The example formats and directions for a book proposal are helpful too.
