Writer's Summit Tip #26:

There is a professional organization that most reputable Literary Agents belong to called the "Association of Author's Representatives - AAR). Find out if the literary agent you want belongs to and is in good standing with this association. If they are not, you need to find out why they don't belong or why they are not in good standing.

This is a voluntary membership, so there may be quite legitimate reasons for one not to join. It is an important discussion point if you are hiring a literary agent.

Writer's Summit Tip #10:

Hand your first proof to someone who is a skilled editor and allow them to 'clean' up your book BEFORE you share your book with friends and family.

Remember, your first proof is not ready for publication! It is like a newborn baby with the gunk still on it. If you do you share your book prematurely with non-professionals, you open yourself up to unnecessary criticism and (unintentional) dream stealing.

Your confidence is what will drive the book's initial sales and any early words of criticism can ring in your ears for a long time. Wait until you are confident in your project and solid in your dream - BEFORE you share it with others, especially those closest to you whose opinions you value highly!
