Chin up! You are really close.Well, not so great news, after almost two months, just got the news that agent interested in January is not going to seek the rest of the manuscript. This agent thought there was nothing wrong with the situation I was arguing against. To be fair, I knew it would take an agent that would be hard to find......
But, oh well, back to my search.
Maybe, Kitty. But the 50% who agree are the ones I need to make a change. If no one says anything, guess what happens?So the fact that you’re alienating 50% of you potential readership could be what the problem is
Sorry to be flippant, but one of my favorite publishing stories that my dad told, was about an author who submitted a manuscript. Dad decided that it wasn't for him. He said that he didn't feel he could publish it because he didn't agree with the underlying principles of the book (quite apart from the writing style). Her answer was, "If you don't like my principles, I have others." I imagine it must have been a horrific sort of book - sort of Mein Kampf or something, for my father to feel that strongly (sadly I don't remember). He was a great believer in ideas and his firm was the first ever alternative publishing in the UK.You are right in all you say. And I surely appreciate your common sense. Thank you! Yes. I do want to reach the ones who don't agree. I am trying to voice myself in such a way that this will happen. So, I have written in such a way that even those who do not agree might still be entertained. At the end of it all, though, what is left is what the reader chooses to believe after the story is over. And in order to even make it that far, I need someone willing to see my side to see the book to fruition. Hopefully, one day that will happen.
Thanks so much for your feedback! I do hear loud and clear what you are saying and I do agree with you.
