I'm editing my first book and really wanna get it published, but I know nothing about the literary world. I'd like to find an agent who can best represent my interests, because my biggest fear with my work is it getting stolen or losing creative control. Any advice on how I can find an agent?
There’s a couple different ways to find an agent. You can Google for literary agents, go to conferences, or find them on social media. Many agents are extremely active on Twitter, so check out the tags #pitmad, Please note there are some rules around #pitmad so be sure to read up on those.
There are a few general rules:
Do your research. Read the blurbs on the website to see what genres they want, or follow them on social media to see what they’re looking for. Some may say they want specific types of stories. Make note of that. Ultimately, do not send your sci-fi thriller to an agent who wants romance or non-fiction.
Follow the damn rules. Read their submission/query letter requirements very carefully. There may be particular instructions they want you to follow and a quick way to have your material NOT read is to ignore them.
Apply to several. Keep a spreadsheet with names, emails, genres, and when you applied to them. That way you can stay organized and know who you applied to and when.
Do not send them money. Any agent that is asking you for cash up front isn’t a real agent. They will get paid when your story gets picked up for publication.
As for people stealing your work, in the US, you can get copyright. It costs about $75 and requires you to fill in some forms and send in some proof that you’ve actually done the work. The truth is, the likelihood of people stealing your idea and writing the exact same story is low on the literary side.
As for losing creative control, unless you sell the rights to your story (which you wouldn’t do unless you’re selling film rights, and then they can only change the movie not the book), you remain in control. They cannot force you to make changes. With that said, if you refuse to make certain changes, they are well within their rights to drop you as a client.
P.S. For those of you wondering, for TV and Film agents, you (generally) do not find them. They find you.

I found this app called CamScanner that will scan all of your traditional drawings/documents with just taking a picture of it! It really works and it looks amazing! This might help traditional artists to post their art with better quality!

Ok, I know some people are complaining about this season, and while there were some things I would’ve changed, IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!!
From the trailers I originally thought I was gonna hate Tadano, but I actually really liked him? Like, he was such a chill dude and even when Retsuko broke things off, he was respectful. He had a lot of layers to him, and wasn’t the cliche, one-dimensional dude bro I thought he was gonna be. However, I am glad that he and Retsuko broke up, not only because obvious ship, but particularly when it was obvious he and Retsuko were not on the same page about marraige and having a family. But even then, I still really liked him as a character! •w•
Speaking of Haida, I was sort of disappointed with how little of a role he played this season. He wasn’t completely reduced to the side, but I would’ve liked more scenes with him (and Retsuko skkfsk).
Ooohhh, but I ADORED what this season added to Kabae’s character! I went from finding her agonizingly annoying in season 1 to being one of my favorite characters in the whole series. They way she helped Anai and played with her kids as well as the story with her husband was so adorable! I loved how they took a sort of irrelevant character from the first season and added on to her. Amazing stuff!
The message of the whole season, however, is what I think was the best part, at least for me. Even though Retsuko and Tadano were great for each other personality wise, their morals just didn’t match up, and that’s ok. You shouldn’t force yourself to match up with your partner’s expectations. The point of a relationship is to be happy together, and if you can’t meet halfway, things might not work out, and that’s not a bad thing. I really think that moral should be incorporated into more shows.
I have plenty more opinions that I have on this season, but to just sum it all up, I really really enjoyed it, and I really really hope there’s a season 3!!
So I’m not sure what to call this
But I figured I’d at least try to impart my knowledge of (hank hill voice) weapons and weapon accessories.
If you like this, tell me, and I might do another tutorial some time!
that “concerned about rayla” face callum makes all the time reblog if you agree
