Literary Agent Rachelle Gardner will be chatting live on the Editor Unleashed forum tomorrow, 1-2 p.m. EST.
Here’s an excerpt from her interview:
Rachelle is a literary agent with WordServe Literary Group, who specializes in nonfiction and fiction with a Christian worldview. She has an engaging, helpful online presence including a great blog for writers Rants and Ramblings on Life as a Literary Agent and is active in the Twitter book community.
In this interview, Rachelle shares her thoughts on the most common mistakes writers make when querying, as well as how writers can begin building a social media presence.
1. What kinds of manuscripts are you looking for right now, and are you accepting queries from new writers?
I’m accepting queries, but taking on very few new clients. In fiction I’m looking for terrific soft romance and inspirational romance writers, as well as historical romance. In nonfiction, I look at all categories but prefer books that fit with a Christian worldview, whether it’s finance or health or whatever. I love a good spiritual memoir, but it has to be fantastic for it to sell.
You can read the full interview here. And be sure to drop by to chat with Rachelle tomorrow. If you can’t make the live chat, feel free to post a question for her on the forum.
