>Bent on Books: Rookie Mistakes

>Check out this blog post from agent Jenny Bent: Bent on Books: Rookie Mistakes. I always read these kinds of lists in fear that I’ll see mistakes that I’ve made (or that I don’t know are mistakes), but I think I know all these. Good advice for those just beginning to query agents.

And, by the way, Jenny Bent will be on the agents’ panel this coming Saturday at the Virginia Festival of the Book in Charlottesville.
