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

With my newest project.

I gave up on my last manuscript, after querying 200 agents. Now I've started this one.

With the last manuscript, a few agents liked my writing but couldn't relate to the story and/or didn't find it engaging enough.


I know people have suggested self-publishing. I'll likely try it at some point. But I want to keep trying for traditional publishing, at least until I've hit rock bottom with querying. I like the challenge and working my way up.

ive read that one way to attract a publisher or agent is to get short pieces published in literary magazines. i guess its easier to get that done, and it shows agents or publishers that there's interest in your work already. that's from reading Stephen King's[u] On Writing[/u] book.
