My agent seems to think now is a good time to go on sub, to take advantage of "holiday break reading." She says she wants to go out before Thanksgiving. (I say she's about to miss another of her self-imposed deadlines.)
This is exactly what happened to me. She kinda, sorta pressed me into chucking the YA fantasy out there amongst the masses, whilst I have the thriller out there. I have received contracts from small press and agents before at this time of year. The editorial biggies? Not so sure about that. It's got me feeling a little numb right now. Although she has a number of my books to choose from, the thriller and the YA fantasy were the two big guns, IMO.
I'm just hoping that by Feb or March of next year, I won't be mourning the death of both of them. As Napolean Dynamite says, "Gosh!"
