Got an Agent!
Well. . . it looks like I have an agent interested in representing Sons of God. Now comes the task of revising and re-developing those elements of the novel that need to be fleshed out. The process is so different, in comparison to poetry. Fiction seems to be much less subjective, in terms of what editors like and dislike. And unlike poetry, there’s an actual market for this kind of writing. It’s wonderful to write something that people (outside academia) might actually read. I’ve heard stories from fellow fictions writers concening six figure contracts and 60-city book tours, first class hotels, readings at Barnes and Noble, the whole bit.
