So I have submitted my first query letter and have bookmarked a couple of other agents that work with books of the same genre.
I must admit that I have new respect for all the other authors that have not only gone through this stress but have also been successful. Say what you want about authors such a Stephanie Meyers or others who often get heavily critiqued but they not only got an agent, they received an impressive book deal (and I'm not even mention the movie deal.)
It seems that there is a demand for literature for middle school boys. Too bad that is not my intended audience. Oh well. Some agents are also looking for more literary stories aimed at teens. Hmmm, I guess I won't get them to represent me (special apologies to my wonderful high school English teachers that tried to get me to appreciate literature.) There are also several agents looking for dystopian societies...I guess I am too Disneyfied to write about things like that.
