So you land a reputable agent, say in NYC, and that means you have beaten some pretty good odds already in your search to have that book published. Then your agent has to hit the street and find a publisher.
If you set the odds that you were going to land an agent in the first place at, say 1000 to 1 (just as a reference point - hopefully it's not that bad!), then what do you think the odds are that once you have an agent, that agent will land a publisher?
Do the odds telescope in your favor to, say 500 to 1, or do you face another grind of 1000 to 1 odds?
