The four part graphic novel agent post from the old blog has been moved here and consolidated into one massive post. If you would like to be included on this list or have an update, please contact me. I compiled this list some months back, but I am sure folks have moved on.
I’ve double checked every agent I am listing against the lists at Predators and Editors. Even experienced pros will get some use out of this alphabetical listing of editors, publishers, and agents.
This direct link goes right to the agent page where agents are rated. A dollar sign appears next to their name to show they have actually made sales, and if they have a bad rep or conflict of interest concern, you’ll see it.
You’ll also find handy etiquette tips and guides for submissions.
Everyone who appears on the graphic novel agent list here has a good rep, but remember, you are entirely responsible for doing your own legwork. Listings on the Predators and Editors site can be a little out of date. Note that under the publishers listings, many well-known comics companies are not listed at all. However, the notorious Tightlip Entertainment gets the Not Recommended tag, as well it should.
No matter what, you are ultimately responsible for doing your own research and checking out the reputation of clients.
Before you go on, you need to read this post from nearly four years ago by Neil Gaiman: “Everything you wanted to know about literary agents.”
Some of the links are kaput, so too bad. All of the advice, however, is golden. Please read and bookmark.
You should not even be looking for an agent until you have absorbed the information about what to do before you get one.
I cringe when I see what young newbies have sent to agents and editors. You can blow a gig so easily. Do a little legwork and find out what agents and editors want to see before you contact them.
By the way newbies out there, you do yourself no favor whatsoever by indicating to a potential client that you are amenable to working on spec. Working on spec because you are desperate to get a gig is for people who will spend their entire careers working on spec.
And I highly recommend you take the time to read my posts HERE. VERY BAD PUBLISHERS is a series about my early years in publishing, followed by more recent posts about other bad clients, lousy contract scams, creepy book packagers and more. There’s quite a lot to read. They start out a bit slow, but I guarantee you will find them worthwhile.
