You need a book like Writer's Market/Writer's Handbook.

There is a US Agent section in Writer's Handbook, and you're free to send queries to any one of those (as long as they do deal with your genre -- some will be there purely for non-fiction or educational books). You'll do a lot better looking at books solely for authors. You can also look for publishers as well, just as long as you don't approach any who have "no unsolicited mss" under their details.

What are three things you either like or dislike about the novel Dear John?

I'm doing an essay about likes and dislikes and I'm stuck. I can't figure out what to write about. I really need help. I also have to write what other people like and dislike and compare the differences. It's on the novel Dear John but if you've seen the movie, please answer too.

I just finished reading this book and it was wonderful. But I still have a few more questions

- why does the heroine stay nameless? is the namelessness symbolic?
- is this book a ghost story?
- what role does Mrs. Danvers play in the novel?
- are Maxim's actions consistent or inconsistent with his character?
- is justice served at the end of the novel?
- how does Jack Favel impact the plot? does he shed light on Rebecca's character?
- how does the heroine's relationship with Maxim develop during the course of the novel?
- does the heroine succeed in establishing herself as the new Mrs. De Winter?
- gothic fiction is characterized by picturesque settings, an atmosphere of mystery and terror, and a hint of violence and the supernatural. What elements in the novel make Rebecca a
work of gothic literature?

thanks

I like Eleanor is great, because it's traditional and reminds me of the forest for some reason, matching her brown hair and green eyes. If she's the responsible older sibling, Eleanor definitely conveys a feeling of maturity, and can contrast quite well with her bipolar disorder. If she acts younger than her age, however, I'd suggest Juliet, which brings up feelings of youth when you say it out loud. If you have a Romeo and Juliet parallel (only without, you know, the death and all) or even any type of romance with her, Juliet could make for an ironic as well as fitting name. Happy writing!
