The thing about big name agents is you may be client #100, in that priority order as with a newer agent with fewer clients, you are automatically higher on the priority list. It is a vicious game no matter how you look at it. Yet who wouldn't want to be represented by Angelina?!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130733681254163610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-80574590344942159372010-12-19T22:39:55.001-06:002010-12-19T22:39:55.001-06:00Walter : The real question is : Will Brad share An...Walter : The real question is : Will Brad share Angelina!

She implied it was easier for the commentor.<br /><br />No, I would immediately email with the good news if an agent would offer representation.<br /><br />Me? Tomorrow will be my 8th workday straight! Whew! I basically worked this weekend alone. I have six days "off" starting Tuesday but not quite. I have to work three nights on-call, including Christmas Eve. Sigh.<br /><br />Diane : I have been seriously considering the small press route. But my novels exist in an interlocked universe -- <br /><br />I thought it would be interesting to have secondary characters in all of my different novels -- <br /><br />the hero would change but the villain and back-up characters would be the same. <br /><br />And not the same : different aspects of people the reader thought they knew would be revealed. You know how some people you know relax with you but are completely different with someone they consider an outsider?<br /><br />The angel of Death appears in all of my novels -- but in each, a different aspect of her is revealed. The same is true for the Turquoise Woman (Gaia.)<br /><br />I may have shot myself in the foot doing that. Sigh. Sometimes I'm so me!<br /><br />Elliot : You have a wonderful holiday, too, my friend. I believe Diane and you may be right. But scattering pivotal characters throughout all my interlocked novels with different heroes may trap me in the small press should I go that route.Roland D.

I would never try to approach an editor without an agent. You made some great points. I don't think anyone will consider going without after they read your post.<br /><br />How are you?<br /><br />MichaelMichael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.com
