BARBARA SCOTT

So I chatted with my agent extraordinaire, Barbara Scott of WordServe Literary the other day. I asked her what it is she most likes to find out when she sits down with an author-wannabe at a conference. Here are the top 3 questions she's looking for answers to...

1. Is the manuscript completed?
2. Are you a debut author or have you published before?
3. Can you give me a brief overview of your project?

There you have it. Before you attend a conference meeting with an agent, I suggest you polish up your answer to these 3 biggies. It just might land you a new agent of your own.
