Pitching an Agent: Ben Salmon/ Rights Unlimited

An eclectic list of bestselling authors and a domestic rights arm still in its infancy makes this agency an ideal launchpad for authors seeking extra attention, writes Rachel Kramer Bussel. In fact, the only stuff they’re not looking for is poetry and textbooks. Make sure you query just one agent–submissions guidelines are available on the agency’s website.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion's Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook's Morin Oluwole, and bitly's Tim Devane. Register now.
