This is a place where you will find niche titles that you have never seen before. We also have a wide array of other used books and collectibles that suit our audience.</p>
<p>We publish what interests us and we support our authors in making sure their work is of the highest quality before presented to the reading public.</p>
<p>We have many niche imprints and will be announcing more titles as they become available for purchase. We do accept submissions in the same manner in which you would approach any publishing house. Please begin with a query letter and an explanation of your work. We would also like to know about your goals for your writing career.</p>
<p>If you need help we have editors and designers who can guide your projects into the professional levels they deserve. If you come to us needing nothing, so much the better. </p>
<p>Please note: we are not a self publishing site. When we choose our authors we are dedicated to their success. We view this as a collaborative process and will do what we can to help our authors reach their goals. We have 25 years in the industry behind us as literary agents, authors and marketers. We want our authors to have the tools to grow with the changing landscape of publishing.</p>
<p> More information coming soon. </p></div>Welcome to Writers, Agents and Editors Networkhttps://writersnetworking.com/page/welcome-to-writers-agents-and-editors-network2014-01-05T22:44:15.000Z2014-01-05T22:44:15.000ZDeborah Hermanhttps://writersnetworking.com/members/DeborahHerman<div><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8127666895,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8127666895,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="300" class="align-left" alt="8127666895?profile=original" /></a>What are our writing and publishing goals?

It is also for those of you who simply like books. The authors who self-publish with <a href="http://www.offthebookshelf.com">www.offthebookshelf.com</a> have chosen to do so for many reasons. Self-publishing is no longer the ignored step-child in the world of publishing. There are many advantages to doing it yourself. The greatest challenge to self-publishing is finding an audience. We hope our WAENet members, who are also welcome to join OTBS will help their fellow authors by either a good critique to help them make their work better, or a great review to build readership. If you are reviewing a book and want to offer critical feedback we ask the following: </p>
<p>Remember that this is not the New York Times Book Review. Although we welcome good writing and a critical eye, we want to make this a safe and positive place where the reviewer is not looking to build up his or her own reputation by ripping someone to shreds. For example: never say "you should give up writing because you suck." We know our members would never do such a thing, but it is only human to be tempted to be cruel. This is a community where we are all learning from each other so support is key. </p>
<p>I am a member of Toastmasters International and I love the approach we are taught to evaluate people's speeches. Take note that we are evaluating the speech and not the person. Put yourself in the shoes of the person who wrote the book you will be reviewing. Think in terms of how to make something better not how much you don't like it. </p>
<p>In toastmasters we are told to approach evaluation like a sandwich. We start with something good about the speech, then add some constructive points of how it can be better, and then finish with what is good about it. This encourages the speaker to improve and grow. Self-published books can be corrected and improved much more easily than those that are traditionally published. </p>
<p>Some self-published authors choose to do so for many reasons and have no desire to become traditionally published. Your help in supporting the books you like will bring more readers to the authors. If they do choose to try to find a traditional publisher through our query fest, or other means of submission, your support could be a great help. If you truly don't like a book, you can certainly be honest. However, approach it as you would like someone to approach your work as you continue on the path to success. </p></div>Block

But the digital revolution has opened the gates for innovative applications and experiences. The entire universe of writers, agents and editors can discover and understand each other like never before in a social network designed just for us. Technology’s dramatic march forward is challenging agents to reassess the range of services we provide. More than ever, agents and writers must learn to work with each other in new ways. </p><p>As a literary agent on the WAE Network, you are entitled to your own page where you will be free to express yourself as a professional and as a person. Your profile content and updates can be revised in real time by you, and only you. You may post blogs, videos, photos, and announcements, and network with writers, editors and other agents as much as you wish. The exciting features will include a dedicated location for agents to talk exclusively to each other. Though some of us see each other at conferences or trade shows, many of us never meet. We are all experiencing the flux of the changing industry in unison. We can compare notes, swap stories and support each other; learn who specializes in what and form strategic alliances. We all need to stay on the cutting-edge and help each other as a community with shared interests in order to navigate the waters of an industry that is moving quickly ahead of itself. Join the conversation; grow professionally and personally, and have fun along the way. </p><p> </p></div>New Tabhttps://writersnetworking.com/page/new-tab2011-11-04T03:18:54.000Z2011-11-04T03:18:54.000ZDavid Borishhttps://writersnetworking.com/members/DavidBorish<div><p></p><div class="padding" id="contact"><div class="section_title"></div></div><p></p></div>WAENet Teamhttps://writersnetworking.com/page/waenet-team2011-10-30T23:29:05.000Z2011-10-30T23:29:05.000ZDavid Borishhttps://writersnetworking.com/members/DavidBorish<div><p><b><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8127667300,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8127667300,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="250" class="align-left" alt="8127667300?profile=original" /></a>Jeff Herman</b></p><p><i>Literary Agent & Author</i></p><p><i>Email: Jeff@jeffherman.com</i></p><p>Jeff Herman founded The Jeff Herman Agency in the 1980’s while in his 20’s.

As technology rapidly transformed publishing, the two saw the need to bring to life the information that Jeff Herman has been sharing for over 20 years in his yearly tome “Jeff Herman’s Guide to Book Publishers, Editors and Literary Agents,” especially as it relates to promoting positive relationships between writers, agents and editors.</p><p>“One of the book’s features most appreciated by its more than 500,000 readers is the literary agent section. We get the agents to respond in their own voices to a range of provocative questions, and to provide their opinions about industry trends. Writers want to see agents as individuals with unique personalities, not just as names and factoids.” Herman says. </p><p><span>This led to the idea that many writers work in isolation. While conferences are great, the internet has given us the opportunity to reduce the size of our world. When we began the network in 2011 we received an email from a writer from Asia who said he had never had the chance to communicate with other writers. We welcome you to a place where you can network, learn and share your ideas. </span></p><p></p><p> </p></div>
