So, recently I finished going through the pages of Manuscript Wishlist and Query Manager. It’s a good site, designed to help writers find agents. I just don’t know how successful it is at matching them.
I sent a query to most agents I saw who represented fantasy books. I looked for people I was excited to work with, who I wanted to represent me to the publishers. I expect that over the coming weeks and (annoyingly) months I will be receiving an irregular dribble of rejections.
Such is the quest.
I will be checking query manager occasionally going forward, but I will also look other places, for agents. There no upcoming chances to pitch in person, I will be looking on agency websites to find someone in the coming days.
I appreciate that Manuscript Wishlist and Query Manager exist, though I do wonder if it has success, considering the volume of queries.
Remember, every year a million books are published.
The problem is standing out, and I have to figure that part out.
Thanks for reading,
Michael
