Dear Mr. Zack,
I've asked this question before, in a different area, but have not received a definitive answer.
How would you, as the agent representing my new novel (literary/satire), suggest I spin my resume to offer the submission its best possible commercial first impression in front of an editor (assuming all else being equal and that I have some good reviews but no outstanding sales figures to bring to the table)
A) It's my fourth novel
B) Fourth novel, first for adults
C) First novel
D) First novel for adults
E) 12th book; plus A-B-C or D.
F) Doesn't matter; nobody's buying literary satire these days.
Thanks
