Hello all,
I'm in the process of preparing to query my first novel. I grew up in California and moved to Scotland in 2009. My novel has been passed to the editors at Angry Robot and I'm waiting to hear back. So I currently live in the UK and the publisher I'm hoping to land with is British, though they publish in the US as well.
I plan to be in the UK for at least the next 5 years, but at some point I am considering moving back to California (especially considering this July I've been wearing my winter coat far more than is seemly).
So, my question: does it matter if I query UK or US-based agents? During my searches, I seem to have found better matches with US agents. I'm not sure how foreign rights would work and frankly, I'm confused.
Any advise is appreciated and thank you in advance.
