| Re: ~Submitted my manuscript: What next? Two screenwriters about busted their noggins just to get to my time travel novel about Amelia Earhart. The Algonquin Writers Conference has accepted me (only 15 are invited) to their conference. My editors (3) and various well-read readers found the book to be a great read. But agents are another bit of skullduggery that baffels me. They set and wait for something new and exciting to come along then pass it up. Agents have said everything about my book from poor writing style to unsellable, to fabulous writing, to 'should you find a house to publish you, it will sell very well.' It amaze me that Harry Potter was picked out of a slush pile!!!! |
