I do check up on it for agent information (who reps what, how long it takes to respond, and the comments to see what other writers querying them know). The people there are very kind and helpful. I can only say good things about it.

Also good are: 1000 Literary Agents (their search page), Preditors & Editors (Agents page), AgentQuery.com., and Guide to Literary Agents has good info plus they regularly introduce new agents who're looking for clients. Good luck!<br /><br />(Some of the blog hop participants have changed and aren't on the old linky you have here. When you have a chance please get the new linky's html code from my page.
