I have been told by a certain literary agency that responded to my query that my work has merit and saleability. So why didn't they want to represent me? I don't fit their list. What list? I'm still wondering and hoping for an answer.
See, my work is a wide range. I have a picture book--in need of pictures.
I have 3 books of a series that could grow to more, that are about a little girl who finds a special pebble and struggles with telling her parents or not.
I am currently working on a teen mystery (no vamps, no dark side) that deals with the real dark side of our society.
So, what list do I fit in????

You're not trying to shop all these varied projects at once, are you? Just take one to a workshop or a conference where you can get the first pages reviewed by an agent or editor and see what feedback you get. The SCBWI (http://scbwi.org) has loads of regional events and two annual national level conferences. They've opened doors for more writers than I can count!
ReplyDeleteyes, as per your suggestion, I am focused on the teen mystery for now. however if I see something on scbwi.org that I can go to with one of the projects I'll do that but each is a seperate goal. Thanks!!
