Agents! We got Agents!

Added a great many more agents to the Agent Search List.

I have always heard that agents should be members of the AAR. However, I'm finding many high profile ones that are not. I'd love to hear opinions about that, and will have to look into this more.

Off for some serious reading tonight.

Opinion: go with an agent that has AAR listing. If you go aar website you will see this seemingly small but crucial requirement:

To qualify for membership, the applicant for membership in the literary branch of the AAR must have been the agent principally responsible for executed agreements concerning the grant of publication, translation or performance rights in ten different literary properties during the 18-month period preceding application.

Agents in AAR have proven sales records :) Besides other things.

I had always heard that AAR was the way to go, but many high profile agents I've been finding don't have it, so I was both mystified and confused. Thanks for the advice! It backs up what I've heard, mostly.
