Earlier this year I was going through the literary agent section of the Novel & Short Story Writers Market, and I came across a few agents who wrote that they routinely search for new talent on the web, presumably through blogs. One of the bloggers from Colin's first class said he was contacted by such an agent. Of course, it doesn't have to necessarily be free-lance writing, I suppose poetry, photography, filmmaking blogs, etc. could all be launching pads for artists who use blogging like the lottery to "hit it big" with some unseen talent scout force perusing the internet. Does it happen? We have many talented writers in our own class, have any of them received any feedback of that nature? Or is it just that when one establishes her own personal readership like firedoglake then the advertisers and the agents flock to a new market like flies on, well, you know. Maybe Colin the Writer could share some insight on this topic. Just a thought.<br /><br />OK, I'll go eat my english muffin now.joeydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289086517412395561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801324.post-52494805132369300152006-11-03T11:43:00.000-08:002006-11-03T11:43:00.000-08:00I really like the fan blogs idea, too.
