Talk:Literary agent

message: Since ALL of the Writers' Markets list whether agents are AAR members or not, it seemed inappropriate to cite just one.  I changed "most" to "many" since there are far more agents who AREN'T in the AAR than agents who are.  If you spend much time on sites that give info on agents (AgentQuery, QueryTracker, Preditors & Editors, Publisher's Marketplace) you just see that the AAR agents are fewer than the non-AAR agents. Does that make the fact too mushy?
I also added two links at the bottom.  Here's my logic for adding them -- the page references this type of site ("most agencies list their specific submissions requirement on their Web site or in their listing in major directories"), and it seems legitimate to me to provide visitors with links to a couple of the top (reputable) directories.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katsesama (talk • contribs) 01:52, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Michael Allen's theories about the publishing industry are non-falsifiable, to put it charitably. His essay continues to be read because some aspiring authors find it consoling to believe that many of the industry's selection procedures are random. (They aren't.) Perhaps more to the point, Michael Allen's theories have little or nothing to do with an entry on literary agents and how they work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.42.246.9 (talk) 22:07, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
