I love looking for a literary agent. I am a writer of erotica?

Question

I am an author of Erotica. My work is passionate yet tasteful. My book carries an uplifting message, and it also includes deep life experiences. I would like to get in touch with a serious literary agent to represent me. If you are an agent or you know of a legitimate agent accepting new clients please respond. I welcome your feedback. Only people in this field respond to my question please.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Regardless of your genre, you have to slog through the agent identification and vetting process like everybody else. It took me weeks to determine the 14 agents best suited to rep my erotica, and I don't see any reason to give away the results of my efforts. Besides, they might be the best agents for me but not right for you.

Places to begin or include in your search are AgentQuery, QueryTracker, Writer's Market, Publisher's Marketplace, and Preditors and Editors. I'd avoid Jeff Herman's guides.

Hello Aspiring Author,

Well fortunately for you I love sharing my knowledge, after all that’s what yahoo answers is here for.  Unlike the previous post by Maryn Bittner which should be changed to Maryn Bitter, because of her rude remark about not sharing information.  If she didn’t want to share she should not have attempted to answer the question.  That was just ridiculous and ignorant.  Well anyway on a positive note, there are several places you can go to find qualified literary agents.  Below are some web sights and resources for you to review.  I have included 4 great links to guide you in the right direction. There are also organizations you can join that focus strictly on romance writers, and they can assist you with agents and advice as well. One organization I found is called the Romance Writers of America.

Much success on your upcoming project!  Always remember giving back is good for the soul! :)
