Independent Agents A Report from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Conference in New York by Linda Johns An agent's list always reflects who the agent is as a person. At the International SCBWI Mid-Winter Conference in New York last month, independent literary agents Erin Murphy, Steven Chudney, Scott Treimel, and Barry Goldblatt spoke in a panel session to a 600-plus person audience. None of the four is actively seeking new clients, preferring to work through personal contacts and referrals. Why, then, speak at a conference? And why write about it here? The answer echoes the same reply you'd hear from an editor. Getting the word out about what an agent (or an editor) specifically wants will, one hopes, encourage people to send only to the agent (or editor) who is right. I have a hunch that writers who meticulously make note of which editors like historical fiction or rhyming picture books can often lump all agents together. But the one thing these four made abundantly clear is that each of their lists is a definite reflection of each of them. "If it comes from me, it should mean more than that it's agented," says Treimel. "It should have my tone." The editor receiving a submission from one of these agents will know before she or he even opens it what kind of a style the manuscript will have.
