| marthsheretoo 04/21/21 5:41:47 AM #33 | Thanks for the support and good wishes, folks. It helps. No rejections lately, but one agent said that if she doesn't respond in two weeks, assume she isn't interested, so I crossed her off the list today. smoke_break posted... Is there a place where I can read your writing? I'm doing my best not to associate my professional life with CE. Partly because a few people here love sabotaging whatever they can find, and partly because I come here to unwind and sometimes that means saying stuff that isn't particularly professional. That said, the answer is technically yes. I've got a short story published somewhere that I'm rather proud of, and the aforementioned six books, which I am less proud of. I guess I could always share some of my unpublished stuff. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Doing my best. If I was a faster writer, I'd probably have an easier time, but I've been working on this manuscript for over five years and I don't want to fathom starting over if nobody wants this one. Still, I'll keep trying and eventually I'll manage. I know this is something you want to do too, and so I hope I can offer insight into the process. --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro |

| marthsheretoo 04/18/21 10:33:23 PM #28 | g0ldie posted... how does the process go? Varies from agent to agent, but never the whole thing. Everyone wants at least the query letter. That's part pitch, part author bio. Many agents also request pages. I've seen from the first five to the first fifty. Occasionally, they also want a synopsis. And once in a blue moon, they want something else too (I usually skip these agents lol). If they like that, they'll ask for your full novel, and if they like THAT, they offer representation. And by "like", I mean "fall in love with, and also think it's marketable in the current industry". There's even a section of the query letter where you're supposed to compare your book to other recent successful books (but not too successful, or you'll look like a douche). --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro |

| Topic | ITT: I keep track of how many literary agents reject me. |
| marthsheretoo 04/16/21 11:29:58 PM #24 | There are ways to make money as a self-published author. I've read some books/articles, plus I'm in a pretty big facebook group where sf-published authors share their experience and what works/what doesn't. But the winning formula there runs pretty counter to the kind of writing that fulfills me. And I'm lucky enough to be in a position where I care less about the money and more about people putting eyes on my work. If you want to be in bookstores, reviewed by mainstream reviewers, etc., you either need a traditional publisher or ungodly amounts of self-publishing success beyond any reasonable prediction. --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro |

Just frustrating during the process, not knowing if I'll make it through to the other side. But I accept it's gonna be this way for a while, most likely. Nothing today. Feels like agents go through submissions early in the week, so a few will probably roll in on Monday. --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro |

That would be absolutely hilarious if Disney asked to convert your story into a Disney+ Star Wars series in a "shh, don't tell" sort of way. Tbh the real reason I chose to write space opera is because I want to write Star Wars novels and it seems like you have a much better shot at landing that gig if you have a few successes in the genre.
