I created this blog to help get the word out on my children's books. I have been writing an adventure series about two precocious poodles. Brutus and Baby. These toy poodles experienced many adventures while living on our earth. Since they have gone to doggie Heaven; I am carrying on their adventurous spirits in illustrated childrens' books.

Agents or lack there of....

Getting an agent is like the hardest thing ever. I always thought the publisher would be harder, but that is not the case.

When querying agents, you really have to sell them on your book. Have them believe that your story is what they are searching for. This way they will want to represent you and work hard to find you the best publisher.

I have sent out about 90 queries in the past week. So far only rejections. I'm staying hopeful though, I think I have at least a 1 in 90 odds.

When trying to get an agent, research how to write queries. Look at sample queries. You can find all this on the web.

Is it the luck of the drawl.
