After months of sweating and worrying about the story of my novel, "Silence Echoes", being stolen, I sent it to a reputable agency and one of their agents that had a good reputation and track record of success.
Now the wait begins.
But also, Tamsin and her line reviews of my short stories have shown me my writing needs some tweaking. I'm definitely taking the suggestions to heart.
I just hope the story of my novel is good enough for the agency to consider it.
Do they have a restriction on how many agencies you can approach simultaneously? Naturally, there are countless agencies and publishers. One way to gauge them is online reviews, although I assume you've done that.
Good luck.

No. Just don't submit to more than one person at an agency where there are many agents. And trust me... 50 queries and every one of them wants something different. They sit on your manuscript for a couple of months before they say no. I've got an agent in Canada who is still sitting on my manuscript for Sam Woodard, even though it's already been published. I don't have the heart to tell them. I get a note now and then saying they're "still deciding." It's their great pleasure to tell you no. Been there...
It hasn't even been a week and I'm already dying. LOL
I poured EVERYTHING I had into it and I know it's a long shot to break through in this industry.
I'm sure there are grammatical and a few spelling errors in it. If there isn't... I must be a better writer than any other in history. LOL
It's hard to believe my novel grew from just 2 simple lines on the back of a D&D character sheet in the backstory section.
The more I played the character, the more I realized there was a story that needed, demanded to be told.
As far as submitting to other agencies, I can. They just suggest not submitting to more than one agent at their agency.
The agent I chose is, in my opinion, amazing. She's got a great track record and she's open-minded. In her bio and her wish list, she's not sure what she's looking for until she reads it.
She loves stories about family and my story has that in spades with a bit of D&D lore and Greek mythology thrown in for flavor.
She represents several writers in the fantasy genre so my novel probably fits into that category best.
Where words fail... silence echoes
