Community

As an advocate for all aspiring writers, TKA strives to encourage, educate, and inspire all those who love the craft of the written word. With writers all over the world, we decided that the best avenue for reaching out is through the internet. We hope that you will find our community a warm, inviting, and safe place to discuss your questions, concerns, joys and sorrows.

Here are the several areas where we currently offer assistance:

Button Icon Agency Blog

The Knight Agency blog is a great resource for information about publishing in general. It is also the hub of information for all that is transpiring through the agency and often the publishing world. We announce chats, news, deals, and have guest bloggers, agent reflections, and much more (with the occasional funny anecdote).

Two of our agents, Nephele Tempest and Lucienne Diver, also have active blogs that host events such as "Urban Fantasy Week," spotlight authors and give unique insight into the agenting world.

Button Icon Chat

TKA Chats are a great way to get answers from people who know the business. Chat Stars range from authors to booksellers to editors and beyond. Generally, the chats are held Eastern Time on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Please sign up for the monthly e-newsletter for upcoming stars and dates. Still, it’s always a good idea to check the blog for last minute time changes and announcements (often giveaways) concerning the chats.

*To enter the chat room, follow this link (http://client1.sigmachat.com/sc.pl?id=115545), enter a screen name and simply select “login.”

*Rules of Play: To keep things organized, the chats are all moderated. The moderator will begin by posting the following rules of play: when you have a question, simply type a “?” and the moderator will keep a list and call on you when it is your turn.

*Chat tips:
Always check the blog for any last minute announcements concerning the chat.
When waiting on your turn, type your question in Word or another application so when it is your turn you only have to copy and paste. (Keeps the chat running smoothly)
Click on any screen name in the list to open a Private Message conversation (a lot like AIM).

 
Button Icon Agency Groups

Here we post the agency calendar with such events as chats and conferences. We also send out announcements when events change or big news happens in the publishing world. Please note, you can set your settings to determine how many announcements you will receive. Finally, one of the biggest assets of the joining the e-group is access to the chat transcripts. Approximately twenty-four hours past any TKA chat, a downloadable transcript will be posted in the “files” section of the e-group as well as an announcement to the e-group and on the blog of the transcript’s posting. Click here to join TKA's Yahoo e-group.
