Publishers Wanted

Wanted: Publishers willing to make money on young, up-and-coming writer. Must be willing to take advantage of the current literary market, which by all appearances is devouring fantasy and good young adult literature.

j/k

But seriously...*sigh* The worst part about writing is finishing. I just finished my latest book, the young adult fantasy/contemporary novel, and now have the joy of agent-shopping to look forward to. *dramatic angst* It seems like all the agents who are interested in your genre don't like new writers, or they aren't accepting submissions, or it takes them ages and ages to reply and when they finally do, it's a rejection letter. If only you could market your book to agents the same way you can market it to the public when it's published...then maybe you could get somewhere.

Well, such is the life. And of course there are myriads of reasons why it is the way it is...but it never seems just when you're on the receiving end. ;)
