Thanks for the tip! I probably won’t contact them, but thanks for letting me know!
Nelson is really good at writing. However, I don’t like all of her books, and I don’t think any of them gripped me like The False Prince did. A Night Divided was pretty good though. I was reading another about a girl who was smuggling books, or she was starting to anyway, but I got bored and quit it. The story didn’t really hold me.The way I found agents to query was through A LOT of research. It’s really hard to find an agent you want to reach out to. So, I would recommend to an aspiring authors to look up “Christian literary agents” or something along that line. I’ve unfortunately gotten only one response (a reject, but a very kind one). Another hasn’t replied, and I read that if the literary agency she is a part of didn’t reply within a month that means that they are not interested in representing my book. So, two rejects, unless there’s another development.
I hope to hear back soon from the other agents, but it’s hard to know if they will even reply. It seems like a lot of them are swamped.
