This is actually a couple questions, but all relating to publishers. I know there's been several comments against submitting to publishers w/o an agent. I'm wondering if anyone has had success with this?
Currently I have an agent. She's run through her list of contacts and the feedback has been positive but sadly no takers. She's getting ready to leave on maternity leave until August! and I'm toying with the idea of submitting it myself to publishers who accept submissions. Is that a big no,no?
I feel that with the comments I've received, there is still hope for my book, but that my agent is ready to call it quits.
Maybe this is just me not wanting to accept that it's not going anywhere.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
