Ok, here is my dilemma:
I have two projects at similar stages in their development.
One is non-fiction about the life of a former major league baseball player from back in the early part of the last century.
The second is a sci-fi novel.
I have 20+ years experience as a newspaper sports writer/editor while I am just starting out as a fiction writer.
Should I go forward with the non-fiction book and hope my experience increases my chances to land an agent, as well as a publisher, and once published then proceed with the fiction work?
Or, roll the dice on finding an agent willing to work with a newbie fiction writer?
Which seems to be the way to go to maximize my chances of getting published?
