New Agent Alert: Jack Perry of Max & Co.
Literary agent alerts (like this one with Jack Perry of Max & Co.) are golden opportunities for new writers because each one is a literary agent who is likely building their client list.
About Jack: In 1994, Jack joined Random House and went on to become Vice-President of Sales & Marketing for Random House, then head of Sales for SourceBooks and Scholastic. He recently landed with Max & Co., a Literary Agency and Social Club.
Seeking: He will focus upon nonfiction books with a foundation in history, business, politics, narrative nonfiction, math, and science. He also likes sports. And music. In fact, if the writing is good enough, he can be led to a vast array of topics.
How to submit: Jackwperry38@hotmail.com. E-query, and include a brief synopsis and biography stating what the book is and who you are. "Ideally both will point to a very large collection of people willing to drop $24.95 to read your work. We appreciate direct & cogent proposals (well...at least in others). Then include sample chapters as attachments, one of which must be your opening (we like to see how you take the stage). If more than four weeks have passed without a response, write again or call. E-mail was never intended to carry the burden we all now place upon it. Stuff gets lost in the ether."
Chuck Sambuchino is a former editor with the Writer's Digest writing community and author of several books, including How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack and Create Your Writer Platform.
