I took a shot at getting a literary agent yesterday, using this blog. I sent him the link and asked if he thought it could form the basis for a book. He didn't, but he was impressed enough with the writing to agree to look at my mystery novels. I'm waiting to hear from him on that now. It's a long shot, but he's with a very good agency. He also seems to be a nice guy, so I'll be really happy if he takes me on.
True, I already have one agent, but she and the agency she's with only handles science fiction. If I can get one to sell my mysteries, that would be a huge plus for me. A good publishing contract could change my situation for the better.
I really think your experiences shared on this blog would make a great book, even if only a relatively niche audience reads it. Have you considered self-publishing?
ReplyDeleteSelf-publishing is difficult because to make it work you also have to develop and execute a marketing plan, set up a distribution network, etc. I have no knowledge of or experience with any of that.
