BAAM!

By Paula Matter

BAAM?

Bad Ass Author Marathon?

Big As A Mountain?

Be An Accomplished Mother?

Breaking Away And More?  

Basic Administration & Management?

Bachelor of Arts, Applied  Music?

Nope, none of the above. And it has nothing to do with Chef Emeril Lagasse either.

BAAM stands for Blogging Agent Appreciation Month. (Originally, it was going to be Blogging Agent Appreciation Day, but that didn't turn out so well.)

One day last week I read of an agent who has decided to stop blogging. I thought about it and realized that there have been a few in the last year or so who have stopped.

Thanksgiving may be over, but I'm thankful every day. Some days I have to work at finding something to be thankful for, but I always manage to do so. On this day, the first (only?) day of BAAM, I am thankful for all of the agents who continue to share their insight, opinions, feedback and wisdom. For free, no less.

Below is a list of awesome agents who blog. Seventeen of them! I'm sure there are more and I hope you'll share with the rest of us. For now I'd like to let these 17 know how much I appreciate them for taking the time to blog. Please go visit their site today and thank them if you agree.

You may notice there are a couple of names of people who've left agenting. Doesn't matter, trust me. Their blogs are worth a visit.

This has been flying around the Internet lately, and in case there's someone out there who hasn't see it, take a moment to watch. Then go thank an agent who blogs.
