Agent Representation


Agent Representation

Do you need a literary agent?

 Everyone will have advice for you on this point. The truth is, having an agent will give you an edge. Publishing houses have several acquisition editors. These are the editors who review submitted manuscripts and decide (usually through a committee) whether or not they will be published. These acquisition editors are flooded with submissions. To eliminate some of the backlog, many publishing houses use literary agents as their first line of defense. If a manuscript isn’t good enough to attract a reputable agent, they won’t accept it for consideration.

Sparks Literary Consultants Can Help.

That’s where Sparks Literary Consultants can help. During our Manuscript Evaluation process, we determine whether or not we believe your manuscript is ready to be submitted to publishers. If it is, and if we think we can successfully land you a publishing deal, we will offer you a contract for representation. We only represent manuscripts we have read and evaluated. Maybe you’re the next J.K. Rowling, maybe you’re not. If we don’t read your work, we’ll never know.

Getting published is often a game of chance, but your odds can be increased significantly by having a literary agent who will stand by you and your work. Agent Representation will get your manuscript in the door and on the desks of the right acquisitions editors at the right publishing houses. An agent will also represent your interest in all publishing negotiations.
