Have blitzed so many agents I'm embarrassed to tell you with a query for my non-fiction book. Have gotten 10 requests for proposal and/or sample chapter. Two declined after that and eight are still alive. Can anyone tell me if my chances are good?

Thanks.

Welcome.

You can find quite a long discussion about the "odds of being published" if you click on this link. Basically, it depends on the quality of your book.

Every time you do something towards achieving your goal it makes your odds better. Stick around and make your odds better than that. AW will get you there if your book is good enough. If it's not, there are ways to make it better.
