As of today, I've queried 33 literary agents....

@LucyFuhr I've taken a couple classes. Last year I hired an editor for my book (the one I queried last year)... So I learned a bit from that :) Aww, I'll think about that actually :) I appreciate that!!

@Penny I've been meaning to read that 😯 So I'm gonna give it a go!

@PrivateHell Thank you, I'll keep going for it 💛

@JupiterDreams Dedicate it to meeeee😵

@canusernamebemyusername Haha it's already dedicated to someone else actually 🤣 Maybe my next book!!

@JupiterDreams My dedication is probably a self help book🥴

@Harmonium1923 I'll take it :)

@JupiterDreams It's actually similar to what @Penny said. Literary agents are very fussy and focused on books that they think will be easy sales to publishers. It's VERY hard to get an agent interested for a first book with no track record. I think they key is to get your name in print (ideally, actual print rather than just online). I'd look for literary or general interest magazines that specifically target the audience you think would like your stories. Like teens, romance, fantasy, etc. (In my case it was light verse, baseball, history, economics...but I'm kind of boring). Many of these publications will be desperately trying to find enough content each month and will be happy for unsolicited submissions. Once you've gotten a few stories in print, I think that will help immensely in getting an agent or a publisher interested in something bigger. Good luck!

@Harmonium1923 Oooo thank you 😯 I appreciate that

@questionWeaver Aww, thank you ☺️

@Northwest Nooo, I've never been published

@JupiterDreams You should look into Amazon Publishing. If you want a literary agent, as a first timer, you need a completely detailed book outline and a lot of patience. It helps if you know someone in the publishing business.

@Northwest Trueee

@DunningKruger Thank you ☺️ <3

@Lostpoet Not while it's out being queried haha

@RogueLoner I hope!

@MarmeeMarch Lol I'll think about it
