I've written a literary novel based loosely on true events involving drug cartels in southwest Texas. This is a timely issue for those in the region, and though I've gotten some exciting sniffs from reputable agents working from the East coast, I'm thinking the manuscript may resonate better with a regional agent.
Problem is: I don't know of any reputable literary agents in Texas--New Mexico, Arizona would work, too, I guess, provided any exist.
What I don't want is someone who will dump the manuscript in the lap of a small publisher who already accepts unsolicited manuscripts from authors.
Can anyone recommend an agency in this region? Someone from a writer's group mentioned DUPREE/MILLER & ASSOCIATES in Dallas, but besides them, I'm having trouble gathering names.
If you don't know someone in the region, I'd take a name from someone located elsewhere who might have an appreciation for literary fiction and can stomach a little violence associated with drug cartels.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
