Every year, Writers Digest asks me to assemble a short list of agents who are actively seeking new work from writers. (I call it "The List.") Well, The List came out in the Oct. 2009 issue of Writer's Digest. But it is now online for all to see. It's a special grouping of literary agents who’ve confirmed they’re open to reviewing queries from new and established authors alike. This means your work is going to get read and considered. And rest assured there’s an agent on this list for you, no matter what you’re writing.

Before you go sending out queries, remember to polish your work and pass it around to beta readers. Donya Dickerson has nicely provided 10 easy tips concerning what to do before submitting your work to agents. Good luck, everyone!
