After reading some of the threads here, I'm very interested in knowing why literary agents are not too keen on taking historic fiction novels?
This worries me greatly. I have completed a historic fiction novel set in revolutionary France. Its called 'Day of Revenge'. There is a lot of drama, blood, killing and some sex. Its also quite unpredictable. So, its got all the good stuff, but has there been any contemporary authors who have published a book set in revolutionary France? So, I'm wondering where exactly my book would fit, and if e-book publishing would be the best way to go before actually looking for an agent to submit to?
I'm really working towards the best for my book, but am kindof scared at the same time, just like anyone else in the same boat as me, being an aspiring author.
