elsewhere on mediabistro.com: Pitching Lisa Hagan

In the latest installment of mediabistro.com’s “Pitching an Agent” series, Lisa Hagan of Paraview Literary Agency discusses what it takes to stand out from the 100 or so nonfiction book proposals she receives every day. “When you read something that is so wonderfully written and so moving and know that it’s going to help a lot of people, it makes you feel good,” Hagan tells Rachel Kramer Bussel. But if she likes you, be ready to work; Hagan especially likes authors who can be counted on to deliver a new book every year, or at least every 2-3 years.
