Agent or no agent?

It’s very difficult to get manuscripts considered without an agent — most publishers simply won’t review work unless it comes through representation. And because there are relatively few agents who specialize in children’s books, they are often closed to new clients, which makes finding the right match especially challenging. I was fortunate to have a wonderful agent and we were developing several projects together, but he needed to step back for personal reasons. So I’m back on the search. In the meantime, I’m still writing — and honestly, it’s the most fun I’ve ever had.
