I've wondered just what happens when an agent asks to read an author's manuscript - does the agent have particular markets in mind? Does the agent query particular markets before they respond back to the author? I'm just trying to get an idea of the mindset.
After receiving so many rejections, the thought occurred to me that possibly agents keep their finger on the pulse of the marketplace - i.e,, they pretty much know what particular editors are looking for and they look for ms that would fit that criteria.
Is that a pretty good assessment, or am i way off base??? Just wondering.
