If you are currently querying or thinking about querying literary agents, you need to hear this harsh reality. #amquerying #querying #authortubechannel
Querying is the process of trying to get a literary agent or independent publisher for your manuscript. Many people begin the querying process with misconceptions or flawed attitudes about how it works. What is the truth about querying and traditional publishing? It's this: that this is a BUSINESS. At the end of the day, literary agents have a finite amount of time, and they are looking to support themselves. This means that you may receive generic rejections or no responses.
Many authors also have a frankly entitled attitude, believing they are above reproach and refusing to accept that anyone might reject them. In reality, writing and any creative career comes with rejection, and if you can't handle that, you might not be ready for the realities of this career.
Is it harsh? Yes. Does it suck? Kinda. Is it true? Also yes.
