Hi Mike,
I thought the hardest part was writing a book. Now that I have completed my book, I find the real work has just begun. Getting my book published is the hardest part of the process. Now, I am researching publishing companies (for christian authors), as well as literary agents.

I am more familiar with Thomas Nelson Publishing than any other; probably because I was born and raised in Nashville, Tenn., and because of my grandmother frequently read the Bible which had their name at the bottom of the first inside page.

My book is a story of my life. I am currently 69 years old and was sexually abused as a child. However, I am also a victorious overcomer through God.

Thank you so much for this information. I’ve been using agent query–it is nice to have a fresh list of opportunities. I truly believe in the book I’ve recently self-published, but I feel an agent could open so many doors I’ve yet to encounter. Thanks again for all of your work!

It contains all kind of agents. Some represent children’s books. You will have to inquire to find out.

[...] A referral is not when you find my name on somebody’s website where they list agents. I regularly get queries that say, “I was referred by Michael Hyatt” when what really happened is they found my name on Mike’s list of agents. [...]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for this list. I’m in search of just the right agent for my debut novel, and have queried a few that I have found here.

Just wanted to inform you, as I’m sure you already know, that Kelly Gottuso Mortimer closed her literary agency. I saw her name on the list today and thought you might like the reminder so you can remove it.

Thanks again!

[...] Literary Agent–This is a must-have for authors. You generally can’t get in the publishing door without one. Why? Because traditional publishers use agents as filters to separate “the wheat from the chaff.” It also provides the clout you need in the contract negotiation process. Publishers aren’t “out to get you,” but they are naturally focused on their own interests. (I have a list of agents here.) [...]
