What's your advice for somebody who has written and self-published a novel and is seeking to get the word out/land a literary agent?
Lisa McMann
Hi S.J.,
I think the best way to get a literary agent is to write an amazing query letter and start sending it out to agents who represent the kind of book you have. Agentquery.com is a good place to start researching. And to learn how to write a successful query letter, there are lots of blogs -- go through and read the archives of literary agent Miss Snark here: http://misssnark.blogspot.com/ . And good luck!

I loved your books from the beginning to the very end, I fell in love with Caleb and I just wish he were real. I am a beginner writer and you as well as other authors encourage me to keep on. I have two questions. Is Caleb inspired in a real person? Can you give me an advice for my writing, or any kind of recommendation?
