If you're here, you're either curious about the publishing industry or actively trying to get an agent or book deal.


That's great! You've taken a very important step on your journey. I'm glad you're here! On this blog, I plan to:


-Give advice on finding reputable agents or publishers

-Give tips on crafting query letters

-Explain what it's like to work with an agent or publisher

-Teach you how to avoid scams and bad deals

-Give you a list of agents and publishers that are open to queries

-Give you pep talks for handling rejection and criticism

And more!


This is still very much a work in progress and I'll be adding more tips in the coming months.


Thank you for reading this blog. In the meantime, there's no pressure, but please feel free to check out my books on Amazon! My name is Dana Gricken and I write a bit of everything.


Take care, keep writing, and NEVER give up!
