Hello,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I have made an effort to see if this has already been answered but haven't exactly found the answer.
What is the general opinion here about submitting to 'up and coming' agents who are in a reputable agency but have few or no sales to their name?
I've seen a couple of excellent sounding people who work for premier agencies who have only just been promoted but..... they know nothing and no-one right?
I am conflicted about it. On the one hand I really like the idea of someone with lots of energy and hunger fighting to get your book published; someone who is not ground down by the industry and that you can establish a long career with. On the other hand you sort of want the wily old fox who can sell your book during a lunch with an editor they have known for decades.
Anyway, I know nothing other than how to get rejected by all the experienced agents I have queried, but I wanted to know if anyone here had an opinion?
