I hope this is the right place to ask, if it's not please feel free to move it! ^_^
I was just curious. I have an agent now handling another book of mine. while I'm waiting for him to find a willing publisher, I re-opened some manuscripts for picture books I was writing prior to the book now awaiting publishing.
I finished one and emailed my agent. (He's out of the office today, but I should hear from him tomorrow, he's very good about getting back to me.)
The one thing I didn't think of asking (because I wasn't sure I was going to reopen the manuscripts...) was if he even worked with picture books.
What happens, say an agent takes you on based on a book you wrote... but he or she doesn't do children's books?
Do you have to find another agent... or if the book is worthy, will the agent take it on even if it's not the norm for them, simply because you're already a client?
