I have done most of the things you have done as well, and have taken my historical fiction novel to #1 on Amazon in the romance/historical category, FINALLY beating out Gone with the Wind. (Mine is Civil War era as well) Still don&#39;t have any bites from agents or publishers despite the success.

Well done!<br />I&#39;m wondering if I could get an agent. I already have a publisher but would love representation. I&#39;m already writing for newspapers, twitter, facebook, maintaining and updating my site. Do you think this agent is considering submissions?<br /><br />thanks for sharing your pathway to success,<br />Mary<br />http://www.marymalone.ieMary Malonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-19776608577019732452009-06-04T06:23:21.638-07:002009-06-04T06:23:21.638-07:00Thank you for sharing your story. It gives new authors such encouragement to realize what they need to do in order to have more possibility of getting picked up from a publisher.
