My poor stupid Oprah book isn't ever gonna get done. The latest thing I'm calling it is Oprah's Dead Son. Maybe I'll make it a pome, instead. All advertising is spam. Here's Ginny Good in its entirety:

Here are some sample chapters from The Audio Book of Ginny Good.

Mr. Jones: As our agency terminates its effort to sell books to the U.S. media czars, we thought we'd pass on a note to you that our disappearance is largely due to much of what you say about the new world order of media.

On our site we display in bold red text our exit from the business and point the visitor to another red-text link to find other agents, should they persist.

Your site is listed at the top of the list. Perhaps others will find wisdom in some of your discernment about the media industry.

Good luck with your effort to get G.G. to film. Your audio-book of her was excellent.

-The Departed
(ex-IPMG Lit Agents)

Dear Departed: I figured out a long time ago that I'd rather be right than rich. Why anyone would want to waste his or her precious time buying or selling or reading or writing the godawful sophomoric slop and jingoistic gibberish that's being bought and sold and therefore read and therefore written is beyond my ability to comprehend. I'll put your epitaph on my site. Thanks. G.

You're more than welcome. Here's a self-help chapter for you...I don't think it's gonna be Dr. Phil's cup of tea but it was self-help to me. G.

Hey, Joanna, I don't do anything as a service to anyone but myself, actually. I just made myself a convenient way to get my beautiful books dissed and dissed and dissed again. If writers want to use my little list that's fine with me as I explain fairly thoroughly here:

http://mobylives.com/Jones_EWA.html

The only information I have for you is what you have on your website. Your "advice to writers" is fine. You should stick it on your site and maybe add the best "coming of age" book written thus far this century:

Or add a link to my cool new free fifteen hour audio book. Thanks. G.

Dear Mr. Jones, We would prefer not to be listed in your directory. Our submission guidelines, clearly outlined on our own website, stipulate that we do not read electronically submitted queries or submissions. Yet, in the past year, we have received a flood of such e-mails, clearly submitted simultaneously to many agents. I can only think that the source of these submissions is directories such as this one. Sincerely, Judith Weber

Dear Judith: I'll include that information in your listing. That's the best I can do. Thanks for understanding. G.

Update: October 2006

i'm sorry being an author has not been more rewarding. sadly, you are in the majority. but i have no idea how publishers could change their ways except to buy fewer books, something they are reluctant to embrace. of course this policy, carrried out until now anyway, would have hurt both you and me.there are exceptions, but in the main, i find book publishers to be illogical business people. and if more writers knew the business end of it, perhaps they would find another dream to pursue. but the almighty book continues to attract us, sometimes deceives us, yet we go back for more. go figure. i really feel we may be as guilty as the publishers. best, jh

Oh, being an author has been extraordinarily rewarding...there's nothing more rewarding than having made several of the greatest new literary art forms of the 21st Century. Giving them away for free is part of what makes 'em such great art. If I got mere money for my work I couldn't have done what I've done. How much fun would that have been? No fun, that's how much fun. Thanks. G.

there you go again. stop it!

Hey, people have been telling me that you're not a "real" literary agent and that you're "mean" to writers. I tell 'em you're not mean enough if they still think they're "writers." Keep up the good work. Fathers and teachers, I ponder, what is a real literary agent? G.

Heh. You're exactly right, and that's precisely why I don't baby them. My favorite reply is "you should have just sent a form-letter rejection." These people need to find other hobbies.

I had a good teacher. Chapter 8. G.

Gerard, As an author myself who certainly could have wallpapered my bathroom wall with rejection letters I decided that I wanted to switch roles from "prostitute to pimp". Hence I enjoy using the skills and empathy I developed from being on the other side as an author combined with the marketplace awareness of what sells. I am mostly looking for intelligent and provocative non-fiction by people who are either experts in their field or have a history of publishing in magazines and newspapers and are ready for the next step. Continued best wishes for success with your website and new book. Michael Mancilla, Co-author "Love In the Time Of HIV: Gay man's Guide to Sex, Dating and Relationships," Greystone Literary Agency
