You're right, if only we had an agent, the agent could help us figure out where to market the book. Except to get an agent, we need to know our genre. Aaahh! Good luck with your queries, though.

Sorry about the rejection-...I hope you enjoy Cali! Sorry about the rejection- at least you know where you're going from there. I'm never sure about my genre. But I think the best thing to do is just pick one. If an agent is interested and thinks it'd be best to market it as a different genre, they can be the judge.Creepy Query Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115161057496086972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910533818594533243.post-54697169271218883922010-05-27T10:16:42.754-04:002010-05-27T10:16:42.754-04:00LOL!

Agents make it so clear to address them with their correct names, the least they could do is take notice of who is sending the query. It's wuite simple, really. After all, we do provide them with our names rather than telling them to research it. LOLJessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.com
