partial x-post from that other lj o'mine
So one of the lit agents I am working for is a superstar and the other one is new but cool, she is just starting to build her client list. She has a lot of industry experience as an editor, but she has only become an agent in the last year. I am unofficially on the lookout for writers of fiction and non-fiction with solid, completed book length manuscripts, and they must be writers of high quality. If you know anyone looking for an agent (and who has the attributes I specified in the previous sentence) please pass them along to me. I can't make any promises but if I think something is really good, I can ask her to take a look. Pass it along. circus at gmail
