Finding an agent

by julie rose
1st May 2016

Hello I have self published a book already on Amazon called Tenacity its a true story ( memoirs) also includes drug addiction. Even though we have had some really good exposure, through Sunday Express/The Oxford Mail, seminars/exhibitions etc. I am looking for a higher level of exposure now and want to take the book to the next step. Can any one suggest an agent that would be interested in this type of story. Much appreciated Julie Rose

Hello.

Have you looked at any similar books? See if you can find out about the authors. Often they will 'thank' their agent on their website.

Bear in mind that agents will sometimes decide they've taken enough books on one theme and decide to decline any more.

If you're looking for more exposure, and sales, why not up your own promotion? There are specialist companies that will arrange radio/magazine interviews. There's obviously a fee, but you are paying for their professional experience.

A couple of my clients have used this company: http://www.cameronpm.co.uk/

Good luck.
