Last year at this time I made a new year's resolution not to give up on my novel, no matter what.
So I sent queries out to 50 agents, getting 21 requests for pages (13 fulls, 8 partials). It's been revised a few times and is still being read by four of those agents.
So this year my resolution is not to forget about my non-fiction. Recently I sent out two queries to agents mentioning my fiction and non-fiction projects. Both agents asked to see only the non-fiction. So I'm figuring I'll stick to non-fiction in subsequent queries; if I can launch a new non-fiction book, maybe an agent will be more likely to look favorably on my novel.
But I'm wondering, if either of these agents want to offer me a contract for the non-fiction, what to do about the four agents reading the novel? How likely is it that I could get an agent for non-fiction and another for fiction?
