Hm.

Tonight's search yielded some of those things resulting in the post below, and one possible agent I pulled up on QT. QT is nice not least because it links a list or sampling of agents' authors' product on Amazon. It's a lazy tool, BUT a nice snapshot if you're just window shopping agents.

When you find one with seven links, that's nice.

When all seven of those links result in "no products found for 'this author-under-representation's name'" ... you maybe think better of querying. Amazon is what it is, but if it can't find this agent's authors, you're not likely to become *more* visible. Are you?



Apparently, I am playing Devil's Advocate today.

And also playing Repel All the Agents (whose bad habits you're snarking about here). Stupid game, one might say. But, though I'm not cranky, the one-way-street instructiveness tends to be for querying authors gets to be a dreary road to trudge sometimes.
