Question: Question about agents!. Please help!!?
If a synopsis and a few sample chapters of my manuscript gets rejected ten times by agents and no agent asks for the complete manuscript, does that mean it sucks!? Why would an agent reject me before she/he reads the entire manuscript!? Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There are many reasons it may be rejected, including but not limited to that they just didn't like it!. It may be on a subject matter that is not popular right now, or the market is already saturated with!. It may be a different genre from what they like to deal with!. It may be that they are not working with new authors but only established authors!. It may be they have too many other projects going on at the time!.

Agents have any number of reasons, professional and personal, for rejecting a submission!. If you have edited the book to the best of your ability and are convinced it is something that will contribute something new to what is already on the shelves, then don't give up!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

its because they get thousands of manuscripts a day and they must be enthralled by the first few pages of a book to read the rest!. It does not mean you book isnt good!. just keep working if your book is supposed to get published it will!. also write more than one!. the more you have the more likely you'll get one plublished and once you get one published the rest can follow!.
