Hi again, all. One of the really helpful tips we got from attending the American Christian Writers' Conference in Dallas was from Steve Laube, in his workshop "Do I Really Need An Agent?" He told us that Michael Hyatt, President and CEO of Thomas Nelson, Inc., had a very helpful list on his blog of about 40 agents that they regularly work with. Hyatt's blog is called "From Where I Sit" and the entry can be read at this link.

Michael Hyatt also says this:

"This may not be all the agents that could be listed, but these are the forty or so we work with at Thomas Nelson. While all of them represent Christian authors, they themselves may not necessarily be Christians or represent exclusively Christian authors. If you want to check out an agent or get the opinions of other writers, you might visit ChristianWriters.com or The Absolute Writer Water Cooler, two discussion forums for authors."

Hope that helps you in your search for a reputable agent!

LOL--I was rejected by a few people on that list!

Steve Laube is Professional with a cap 'P'. He critted my first 5 pages at an ACW conference 3 years ago and OUCH, but I needed to hear everything he said. When I snagged him at the 2006 ACFW conference, he said he should NOT rep me because he's known at "the religious agent" and he didn't think that made him right for my thriller. We had a great if short conversation. If you can get him as your agent--great stuff.

Thanks for that list, Pat. It rather scared me to see how many of them I hadn't heard of.

You're welcome. :) I was encouraged that there were that many reputable ones.
