People Poll Results

The people poll results were overwhelming; 84% of you think I should go with another agent, rather than try to do it myself. So, that’s what I’m going to do. I’ll be taking another look at the manuscript this week, putting together a new query, and sending it out.

It’s disappointing on one hand, since I didn’t think I’d be back to the query line on this particular manuscript, but heartening at the same time—anything could happen.

So, if anyone knows of an agent who’s looking for a new supernatural thriller trilogy, let me know—I’ll take all the help I can get.

Quandaries and Compromises

This week, I did something pretty hard…I parted ways with my agent, who was representing the first book in my werewolf thriller trilogy. It was all very amicable, but now, I’m stuck. Do I shop for yet another agent, or do I try to represent myself?

My thoughts are haunted by the saying regarding the legal system: ‘The man who represents himself has a fool for a client.” And yet, so far, the track record on getting books published is Jackie, 1: Agent, 0.

So, I’m turning to the good ol’ people poll…what do YOU think I should do? Should I get an agent, or should I do it my dang self?

Speaking of people polls, last week’s poll on indie stores vs. Amazon was a bit close; four votes for indies, six for Amazon. After investigating Indiebound.org and finding their affiliate program a bit too, um, elitist for my taste, I’m compromising. From now on, you will always find a link to my publisher to purchase Surviving Serendipity. Don’t worry; my publisher is small and independent, so you’ll be doing a good thing by ordering direct from them.
