Agent Hunting

Back to the grind of researching agents and refining the query/pitch to try to hook them. In the meantime, QueryTracker.net is sponsoring an interesting contest:

You provide the one-line hook and if the agent picks yours, he'll take a look at a partial or a full manuscript. I think it's great that agents are using a proactive approach towards authors trying to break into publishing. Personally, it lets me know that at least some of them are actively searching for new clients and new talent. I hope this is a new and continuing trend!

As for me, still tweaking the novel and trying to get it picked up. Once I scrape a few more coins together, I'd like to get a more professional looking copy edited and packaged through lulu.com
Hopefully I'll have copies for sale by the end of summer!
