Haiku – Author, Author, Who Are You?

Saturday morning

One more attempt at agents

Elusive they are

I decided to retry sending out information to agents this morning. I figured that it couldn’t hurt. Now that the self-publishing options are so large it is a great fall back plan when agents refuse your work. I honestly believe my work gets overlooked because you can’t categorize it. You can’t push it into one specific little genre, wrap it up in a bow, and say here it is world. I have also noticed that trend in the indy scene as well. A lot of short stories and novels I see or read that are self-published seem to not fit a particular category or genre. In this world of “it has to sell now” that probably hurts most authors who write outside the box – like me.

How about you? Do you write in one particular genre or do you try to blend several into one? Are you also done with agents or do you still try from time to time?

Here’s a little self plug for my short story The Imp, which is doing okay as a free download so far. It is available free until 10/5/2014. By the way, if you have something free, please leave me a link to it in the comment’s section below. I would love to read it.

Are the legends true? Does an Imp live in that haunted house able to grant riches? Find out for yourself if you dare: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JJMOW2C
