Nova Scotia born and raised, now living in Newfoundland and Labrador. I say "eh" all the time!
Question for all you Canadian writers: do you submit your writing in Canada only or do you try the US market as well? From what I've read, it's not really necessary to get an agent in Canada, but you should in the US. Any thoughts on this?
Ann, my sincere advice is get an agent. I had a really bad experience with a Canadian press and those authors who had agents were able to get out of the situation in a hurry. You don't "need" an agent, but they sure as heck are worth their percentage.
My agent, for what it's worth, is in NYC.
