I totally want to reminsce about this fab scene from a ms I was never able to sell & it makes me sad that so few ppl have read it.
I know many agents can sympathize with this. Not every book is a great success. Sometimes we have to pass on books that we really quite enjoyed. Sometimes agents just have to face facts: just because you like it, doesn't mean everyone else would.
I will ruminate more on the subjective nature of the publishing business, and how agents try (sometimes unsuccessfully) to navigate the mine-field, as soon as I don't have a quadrillion things to do.
Thanks for reading.
I've just signed on as a follower of your blog blog because 1) It's rather brilliant 2) Your twitter feed is freaking hilarious and 3) You used the word quadrillion in your most recent post. Quadrillion is a brain-tickling word. Love.
ReplyDeleteI know agents don't have much in the way of spare time, but I hope you post more here. Cheers.
