Agent Hunter website

 

If you’re an author aspiring to publication and you’re hunting for an agent, you might want to check out the new Agent Hunter website that’s been created by those clever people over at the fabulous Writers Workshop.

 

Agent Hunter is a site packed with details of agents, agencies and publishers which allows you to personalise your search to find the ideal ones for you (you can specify agents who handle authors of crime fiction, for example). You can sign up for a free trial, and if you like it  you can take out a yearly subscription for £12 a year.

 

I’ve had a nose around the site and I found it super easy to navigate and packed with useful info.

 

So, if you’re on the search for an agent or publisher you might want to hop over to http://www.agenthunter.co.uk/ for a look see.

In September 2012 I attended the annual York Festival of Writing organised by the fabulous Writers Workshop. It’s a wonderful event, with seminars, panels and workshops for budding authors and a brilliantly friendly atmosphere.

This year, for the first time, festival goers were invited to submit a short piece of writing as a contribution to a book that would capture the essence of the festival.

Edited by the awesome writer Debi Alper, this gorgeous book is now available on Amazon Kindle here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Writers-Workshop-FESTIVAL-WRITING-ebook/dp/B00BFXK4T8 

It’s a fun read, with plenty of variety, and even features Crime Thriller Girl’s top five tips for FoW fabulous-ness (and the top tips of my fellow Nomad’s Natalie James and James ‘Mighty Jock’ Law).

Whether you attended the 2012 festival or not, it’s well worth a read.

It’ll certainly make you want to book for 2013.
