SYNOPSIS: New York literary agent Donald Maass uses his experiences as an agent and author to put together this useful resource for anyone serious about making a career out of their writing.  This book is not a "How To" for writing.  It is to be used once your book is written and you start your search for an agent.  It covers the successes and pitfalls a writer may face along the way, and guides you on how to gear your career toward what the public wants.  Learn the content of a good contract, and the best ways to promote your novels.  This book is a valuable tool for any writer.
