A Goodreads user asked Laurel Snyder:

I am currently in the process of writing a book and was wondering where you get your inspiration and also if your publisher requires an agent to have my book recommended?

Laurel Snyder Yes, I think my editors are all currently closed to unagented manuscripts. One good way to connect with editors is to attend conferences where they offer manuscript critiques. You might check out SCBWI.org.
