I had an agent rejection - it was " You write well, but I'm just not sure it'll stand out enough in what is such a competitive market."
What, there are so many fairy abduction novels out there? No, she just didn't like it. No matter. I would love to know where all these mysterious agents who represent books about fairies are though!
For the last few days I've had a particular agent's name on my mind - but I'm not sure if she represents this sort of novel, still, I can but hope. I wrote a longer than usual account of myself, since this agency wants to know if one is approaching the matter in the most professional way possible. So as a result I felt compelled to set up an FB page. Then I felt full of hubris - suppose this one doesn't make it either? How silly will I look? I am searching for some nice images for the page, I was looking, inevitably at Arthur Rackham, and I found this one rather sympathetic. I don't think it's quite what I want on the cover though. If there ever is a cover. Then again, who knows, I might be searching for covers any month now.
