I've been a client of one of the top children's lit. agents for almost two years now. we've got multiple projects and still not sale under our belts. I'm beginning to wonder if it's me. While I'm already a widely published writer in the article and poetry since, I've yet to sell but one "book" manuscript and that was on my own about two years ago.
I'm starting to think that perhaps my work just sucks. I'm the low man on the totem pole at the agency and almost everyone else has published 30+ kids books with major publishing houses plus have well known awards to boot. My agent has a "no small names" policy and was even closed to submissions when I sent in my first manuscript to them but they bent the rules for me. I keep telling myself it must mean I'm worth something - but right now I feel like I'm a big loser.
Any one else been through this type of thing? This whole thing is SERIOUSLY bugging me out.
