Every issue introduces agents who are looking for new writers. It typically explains what genres they're interested in and how they like to be queried. I've got a big long spread sheet and I send out about three at a time and I'll keep working through the list until one of three things happens: I get sick and tired of rejection, I've saved enough money to self-publish properly or I find the right agent for my novel! In the meantime, I'm gearing up for NaNoWriMo and excited about getting my next novel underway!<br /><br />Happy writing,<br />Anne Anne Louise O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466905565637673954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188518824464777978.post-18066300998659539742012-09-30T23:43:32.096+07:002012-09-30T23:43:32.096+07:00Hi Anne,

I've heard nothing so far, but I have some other places in mind. I don't want to self-publish if I can help it, but it's hard finding an agent. All the best to you.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705095897542073933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188518824464777978.post-8891893549828441602012-09-30T09:39:43.206+07:002012-09-30T09:39:43.206+07:00Kathryn, thanks for dropping by!

I will go in that direction if I can't stir up any agent interest in Mental Pause by the end of the year. <br />Happy Writing!<br />AnneAnne Louise O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466905565637673954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188518824464777978.post-23781183229502398672012-09-29T23:18:52.182+07:002012-09-29T23:18:52.182+07:00Your site is informative.

I decided that 30 years was a long enough wait and went into business for myself. I LOVE CreateSpace.<br /><br />See what I've got going here: http://www.ariverofstones.comKathryn Elizabeth Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356432638093994278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188518824464777978.post-229847101297645022012-09-25T09:57:22.976+07:002012-09-25T09:57:22.976+07:00Linda,

You've got a great attitude and are doing the right things. At some point it will all line up and voila, your novel will be published. Hope to be doing the same in the future. Please keep me in mind for a pre-pub review/blurb if you're so inclined.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12335775809492054879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188518824464777978.post-91069919332003434452012-08-15T00:04:12.131+07:002012-08-15T00:04:12.131+07:00Hi Kitty,
