I wrote last week about agents looking on Amazon to find up-and-coming authors. I wondered if maybe it’s harder than I thought.
I went to the amazon store, clicked on the topic of humor, and then sorted based on customer review. This is what I saw.
At the time I did the search, one of the top five books is self-published. This book has more than 70 reviews and averages five stars. That means sales must be in hundreds, if not thousands. For a self-published book, those are good numbers.
If I were a literary agent, I’d contact this author and ask him politely if I could represent them.
