Sharon so lovely to connect here on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. I've yet to be published by a legitimate publishing house and was wondering if you might have any suggestions about how best to approach a literary agent? Best, S

Hi Shannon,
Nice to connect with you too! I'd say making sure you've research the agent to make sure they take the type of work that you write is a start. Second would be to follow their guidelines for submission (if you don't, it's a red flag) and write a professional query letter. And lastly, just write the best book you can write and don't get discouraged by rejection. So much of this is subject for the agent and when the right one comes along and says yes, it means they love your work. That's a great feeling. Good luck!
