We're most interested in receiving friend requests from authors interested in finding a literary agent. Not only will those on the WRHAMMONS.COM friends list receive updates to Bill's List of Literary Agents and Their Authors' Books (a list unlike any other in existence, and updates available only here on MySpace), but aspiring authors on the WRHAMMONS.COM friends list will be regularly rotated through the Top 24. This is an important benefit, because literary agents google themselves like anyone else these days, and thus visit wrhammons.com (try it for yourself: google "Gernert Company", "Theresa Park", "Kim Witherspoon", or "Melanie Jackson Agency", or "literary agent Binky Urban", "literary agent Molly Friedrich", etc.). And those who visit WRHAMMONS.COM visit this page!"How do you pick the WRHAMMONS.COM Top 24?" you ask. First, it's on a rotating basis - we're constantly changing the Top 24 for the sake of fairness and freshness (Hammons' own profile, his dog Jack's, and the Unity Party of America's profiles will never be removed - sorry). Second, we try to give an accurate cross-section of the WRHAMMONS.COM community. Third, we do our best to return the favors of those authors who have proved to be our best friends (those favors namely being the posting of detailed descriptions of the WRHAMMONS.COM profile and WRHAMMONS.COM website in blogs, discussion groups, etc. on MySpace and elsewhere, including Wikipedia.org (send us links!), the ranking of Hammons' photos, and membership in / postings in the Authors , Runners , and Boulder, Colorado MySpace groups.
Writers from all over the world, runners from all over the world, and residents (or aspiring residents) of North Central Colorado who are looking for an apartment for rent or a new home for sale. If you're a writer and a runner who lives in North Central Colorado, send us a friend request!And feel free to send Bill a friend request if you're a friend of WRHAMMONS.COM (if you're a friend of WRHAMMONS.COM , you're a friend of W.R. Hammons!)
