Wood Devil
Hello! I am new to the board, as well as writing. I have, however, already finished my first novel, and am 50,000 pages into my second.
The reason I'm writing is in hopes that someone can provide me with information on finding a reputable agent that's into the horror genre, respectable horror, nothing outlandish and sickening--more along the like of King and Koontz.
Already having gone through the starving artist thing, and only recently have delved in to the nippy waters of writing, I'd rather find someone willing to take a chance on a bum and not empty his pockets before anything gets rolling.
What advice can you give me? Do agents read manuscripts at no charge to determine if they might be interested, or is it always a pay as you go thing?
