Hi Everyone!
I'm in need of some moral support..... I have written a self-development book. This is my thing. I don't write fiction. I'm really into self-help, spiritual, motivation, self-development.
It really flowed. I have started quering agents. It's been a while now..... AND no interest. I'm getting: not right for my list, so sorry, Or it's huge achievement but not for me, Or I everyone wishing me success in finding a good home for the book.
I query agents that show some depth in their profiles and indicate interest in psychology subjects, strong writing, rep non-fiction.
I have changed my query letter a couple of times. It's really polished now. Oh my god......I feel like NO ONE LIKES MY BOOK. I have queried about 25 agents. Or maybe I just haven't connected to this one person.
I don't want to give up. I refuse to give up on this book, but honestly sometimes it's just so very disheartening
Maybe it's because it's laced with spirituality and it's very deep....and no one wants to take a risk?
But there's a great need for self-help/ psychology books. I really know my subject. Just don't know if the Universe is testing me, making me stronger, or I got it completely WRONG, and I'm not meant to be a published author. But if so, why did I feel it so strongly all my life? One thing is for sure.... I'm getting no where at the moment because no one is saying yes to it.
Sorry for a moan! and all that, but I think you guys understand this like no one else!!!!
I'm grateful for your thoughts.......
