At meetings & events, publishers have invited our submissions.<br /><br />Over and over the advice has been, "Be personal. Publishers are people. Get to know us and follow up with an email reminding us where & when we met."Deborahhttp://dogleadermysteries.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954473905210246986.post-91921754515904238392011-07-18T09:39:56.836-07:002011-07-18T09:39:56.836-07:00@Pk, thanks.

If you wanted to do that, you could use agentquery which will help you find an agent that represents your type of book. :)Krista McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230770035490273428noreply@blogger.com
