Just got a rejection on my novel in which the agent said he really enjoyed the book, the main characters are great, the scope was wonderful; the whole thing was wonderfully written.
Not a negative word until "I just don't think I could sell it."
Seems I've written a book on a topic that's anything but hot.
He also recommended a publisher that specializes in novels on my subject. Only thing is, they don't pay advances. On the plus side, you don't need an agent to approach them.
Nevertheless, I can't help feeling encouraged. Maybe a stronger agent with better connections could think of a place to publish this. I myself can think of several (agents and publishers).
