I believe I have now just about exhausted the ‘big names’ in literary representation. There are two agents who never bothered to reply to my e-queries (one reason I hate e-queries is their tendency to languish unresolved in the ether).

So, I’m reduced to the Guides — the directories of literary agents full of dubious contact information, vague ‘what-we’re-looking-for’ guidelines. These are the agencies that have sold books I’ve never read. Each one will be a ’shot in the dark.’

One recent rejection letter suggested I take a look at Literary Marketplace for some direction as to which agents/agencies might be a good fit for my novel. I’ll report back if it’s useful.
