How do I start searching?<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

When you first access the AgentMatch search database, we recommend resetting your search (do this even if it\u2019s the first time using the search) by clicking on the red cross labelled \u201creset this search.\u201d Then you can get started!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Can I search by genre?<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

Yes, you can! First, click on the red cross labelled \u201creset this search.\u201d Then click on \u201cselect genres,\u201d tick the genre you\u2019re writing in and then \u201cfilter using selected genres\u201d. Our advice is to keep it simple. Search your main genre and then read through each profile to see if the agent has expressed an interest in your sub-genres.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Can I select more than one genre?<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

You can select as many genres as you like. However, when you select multiple genres you limit the number of agent profiles you\u2019ll find in the search results. For example, if you select \u201chistorical fiction\u201d and \u201ccommercial fiction,\u201d you\u2019re telling the system to only show agents that have selected BOTH genres. If you\u2019re writing a commercial historical fiction novel, with a hint of science fiction, then you can also add \u201cscience fiction\u201d into the mix. If you do this though, your search results will reduce further and only show you agents who are actively looking for all three genres. So as we said, keep it simple and work from there.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

How do I narrow down my search?<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

The system has over 1000+ agents so once you\u2019ve selected your genre you can narrow your search down by selecting the agent\u2019s country and client list status. You can narrow the search down even further by using the \u201ckeyword search\u201d filter in the menu by typing in a specific keyword that could help identify interested agents. For example \u201ccomedy\u201d or \u201cfunny\u201d will pick out any profiles that use those words. Be aware though, that the search is character specific, so you may want to try different variations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Can I save my search?<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

To save your search results, click on the cloud icon next to \u201csave this search\u201d and enter a label for this search (our advice: genre, US\/UK agents, date).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When I login I can\u2019t see all the agent profiles<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n

In this case, there are a few things to check: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. Are you accessing the right page? The AgentMatch search database can be found here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
