I have had 3 literary agents and 3 novels selected by editors by major publishing firms (Random House, Penguin, etc.) All three died in acquisitions, however. I have had one collection of poems published, and I teach creative writing (poems, screenplays, novel writing), so I know a good deal about character and plot development. I also run a small press, so I know publishing options, large and small. I'd be happy to consult with you.
