I sent the first two submissions off to agents today and now the long wait begins. I know people say that getting an agent is more difficult than getting a publisher. I know it's like being a needle in a haystack.
But, your work is doing nothing lying on that desk or filed away on your computer. There comes a time when you have to let your baby go.
I've started biting my nails and eating lots of chocolate (hey, it should be available on the NHS). The terror of the 'send' button is with me every step of the way. But, we authors must be brave as our manuscript takes its tentative steps towards publication.
P.S. While I was searching for agents, one of the sites kindly put up a sample agency contract. It's here if you want a peek.
