Publisher's dream becomes reality:
                                     21st Century Agent Debut

It is estimated that publishing will undergo more change in the next five years than it has in the past two hundred. As computers and the Internet dramatically change the industry, publishers scramble to keep up. It is likely that only the most innovate and creative of publishing houses will survive. The Internet presents both a threat and an opportunity to publishers as e-books, on-demand printing and other technological advances enter the field.

According to Publisher's Weekly, books of all kinds were the second most purchased item on the Internet in 1998 at over $600 Million. That figure has already doubled and continues to grow. Now this electronic vehicle that changed bookselling forever is becoming a life saver for publishers. Enter the agent of the 21st Century: the Electronic Agent

The ELECTRONIC AGENT

Developed by visionary marketing expert Patrika Vaughn, the Electronic Literary Agent makes acquisition publisher-driven, allowing editors to inspect manuscripts by category in their own timing. No more sales pitches by agents or deluges of messy manuscripts.

The Electronic Literary Agent features not only established authors but the brightest and most articulate emerging authors on the horizon today. Their available works can be viewed exclusively through The Electronic Literary Agent, a service available FREE for a limited time only.

Publishers become proactive rather than reactive. Imagine: no more rejection slips to send out, no more manuscripts to return, no more bad press about how publishers treat authors unfairly. Imagine, upon selecting an eLitAgent author you'd like to consider publishing, receiving a "press ready" manuscript prepared by the leading editors in the field. For a limited time this service is available to you FREE.
