I'm finding it very hard to find agents that would be a good match for my book. There're so many agents out there for fiction. When it comes to self-help/spiritual genre so to say there are not many options.
It must be someone who would resonate with what I'm writing about.I spent hours looking, made a very small list but I'm not convinced.
I'm just thinking I'll just send it to everyone! Trying to decide who to send it to makes me crazy! How can I know who will be a good match now anyway? I begin to think that it's a matter of luck and fate.
I found an agent who sounds absolutely amazing and a good fit, but I can't see a steady record of recent sales- it's not good, is it?
Or What I'm learning from the agent's website sounds good, she represents my genre, but when I check out her Twitter account it turns out that she Follows Donad Trump!!!
It's a bit of a turn-off.... UPDATE: just read that this agency is a mess. Good to know.
Or maybe I should just go with my gut, and keep it simple. Maybe the agent doesn't need to be a buddha she just have to be good at selling books?
But I have to start querying. There's no point in wasting time.
So I need someone I will get on with- on the same page, with a good track of sales, spiritual yet business savvy, - I'm probably asking for the impossible combination.
Can you offer any advice?
