Agents and Publishers

by Myrisha Connelly

Hello everyone, my questions to you today is! When searching for an agent or publisher how hard do you find it? Because I’m writing Erotic I find my options are very limited and this is so frustrating that I find myself screaming at the screen a lot! And when I do find one I find I have to be so perfect (That I still make mistakes) when I send off an MS. What do you all do when you find yourself facing a brick wall?

Many thanks...

Thank you all for the replies back. I won't give up I'll keep trying no matter how annoying it gets. I may look into Epublishers thanks Dor...

Who would you sell the book on dogshit to Damien? Flies? How would they turn the pages?

More seriously (much more) how are things going? Last we heard you'd been messed around. Maybe an update entry so that we don't hijack this thread?

Hi Dor,

I find more and more writers are getting the same old cut, copy, and past reply back time after time and I think other people would back me up on that.

Try not to let your disgruntlement stop you from recognising why your MS wasn't picked up

My point to this is why do they not say what's wrong from there point of view. When the letters are all sent out as a stranded letter/email it makes you wonder if they even read it in the first place. If your name was in the market place you could sell a book on dog shit.. if you are a nobody then I say no more......

I do say keep on sending but when should you stop ??????
