I'm afraid that I sent out submissions prematurely in 2005, before I revised my work. It was rejected by many, many publishers.
Now in 2006, my work is good, and I've attracted one agent who became worried over the discovery of my rejections and my lack of mentioning them up front. How would I have?
My goal now is to find an agent only in the hopes of gaining entry to the larger houses that will not deal with unagented writers- who have not already read my work, of course.
How do I go about doing this- Do I tell the agent of this predicament, and if so, will I have any hope of keeping interest?
Am I doomed because I prematurely submitted my work; do publishers ever let an author re-submit after improvement?
Thank you for any help.
