Friday email \u2013 Friday 13 December <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject: It\u2019s not them. It\u2019s you.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmm. We\u2019re getting close to Christmas and this email has a bit of a bah, humbug<\/em> tone \u2013 but I\u2019m also writing on Friday the 13th<\/sup>, so I think I can get away with a little cheer-spoiling, so long as I don\u2019t err again soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And \u2013  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw a blog post recently, from a guy in the fitness niche. He\u2019d been asked about why someone wasn\u2019t losing weight, even though they were controlling their diet and exercising properly and doing everything right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he just said, BS. It\u2019s not possible that you\u2019re doing everything right \u2013 over a period of weeks and months \u2013 and not achieving the desired outcome. Like: you\u2019d actually have to break laws of physics<\/em> if you eat (say) 1800 calories a day and spend (say) 2200 calories a day, and then not (over time) notice weight loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not the way our blogosphere normally goes. On the whole, telling customers or readers or users that they\u2019re completely wrong isn\u2019t a brilliant way to attract customers \/ readers \/ users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, OK, sometimes people are wrong and it helps to say so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our niche, the myth I most often hear is some variant of: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know my book is fine [because of Made-up Reason X], but agents don\u2019t want it because they only give book deals to friends \/ they can\u2019t handle conservative viewpoints \/ they only want books by pretty blonde thirty-somethings \/ they only want books with violence \/ or whatever else.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All assertions of that kind are basically false. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agents want books they can sell. They want books that they can plausibly sell to Big 5 publishers, or to the kind of independents that can compete financially with those guys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It IS true that agents will be dubious about taking on niche literary fiction. There are excellent, tiny imprints that do a great job with more demanding, niche, or experimental novels. But \u201cgreat job\u201d in this context does not mean \u201cgenerating huge amounts of moolah\u201d, and agents working with this kind of fiction are essentially doing it pro bono<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also true that agents may well be dubious about working with digital-first publishers. Those guys can create huge sales, but they don\u2019t always, and advances are small. If an agent thinks that a digital-first imprint is your most likely destination, they may say yes anyway, but they will be thoughtful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are niches \u2013 certain sorts of fantasy or science fiction, for example \u2013 where self-pub is so dominant that Big 5 publishers don\u2019t really compete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yes, there are<\/em> examples of good, saleable books being rejected by agents. But that doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s a conspiracy. It just means you\u2019re knocking on the wrong door: you\u2019re a fisherman trying to sell your catch to a cheesemonger. If you want an agent, you have to make sure that agents basically want your type of thing in the first place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s not mostly what I hear. Mostly, I hear authors who have written, let\u2019s say, a standard issue crime novel complaining about being rejected by agents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019ve written a crime novel, and you can\u2019t place it with agents, then EITHER: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You haven\u2019t yet tried enough literary agents (10-15, let\u2019s say) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OR <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your book isn\u2019t good enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assuming an even basic level of professionalism in your approach to agents, then one of those two answers WILL apply to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the commonest, commonest, commonest<\/em> reason for being rejected by agents? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your book isn\u2019t good enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not them, it\u2019s you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not really supposed to say that in the blogosphere. It\u2019s not the most supportive, friendly thing to say. But it\u2019s true. And, actually, it IS the most supportive thing \u2013 because it\u2019s the only message that will really alleviate your issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Jericho Writers, we do of course have a ton of services aimed at helping you make your book better. (The gold-standard service? It\u2019s manuscript assessment<\/a>, of course \u2013 or the Ultimate Novel Writing Course<\/a> if your book is still a work-in-progress. Call or email us if you want honest advice, tailored to you and your exact needs.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the paid-for service part of things comes second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first part lies with you. You need to recognise that your book may not yet be strong enough to sell, and that fixing this issue lies in your hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly? If I could choose between working with a gifted but feedback-resistant writer and a less gifted, but feedback-responsive one, I\u2019d choose the latter every time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write a book. Write it better. Edit it harder. Market it professionally. And don\u2019t complain about agents! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck, and I promise I\u2019ll be less mood-spoily next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FEEDBACK FRIDAY:\u202f<\/strong>\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s use FF this week to just consider all any questions you have about literary agents. If you have experience of submitting, then share it, even if you don\u2019t especially have questions arising from that. Let\u2019s just share experience, unearth your questions, and see if we can help each other. Log in to Townhouse, then post your thoughts here<\/a> whenever you\u2019re ready.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The missus is reading the kids a (somewhat edited) version of The Sons of Adam, my third novel from way back. It\u2019s a historical romp, set mostly in the oil industry of the 1920s and 30s, but flanked by world wars at either end of the book. The kids are loving it, especially the war stuff. Tucking the kids in one night, I literally couldn\u2019t find two of them, and was blundering around in the dark trying to find them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then two blond heads poked up from a little crawl space in between the end of one bed and the wall. \u2018We\u2019ve built a dug-out, and we\u2019re going to sleep here.\u2019 Honestly, the kids are small but the space they\u2019d made for themselves was tiny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They spent the whole night there and refortified their den in the morning. But \u2013 the power of fiction, eh? The loveliness of imaginative play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was thrilled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Til soon <\/p>\n\n\n\n
