Literary Agents, where are you?

http://vincenttechblog.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1597243321.5495181083679199218750 Well, just looking at the title line a writer can start to shiver before they have a chance to start thinking what it all means and how it can help them on their way to become established.

Here we just provide some information from the Australian Literary Agents’ Association which we believe should be your first step.

First, read the information and advice on this page.
