I've made some intial attempts at contacting agents and have so far had no luck. I am trying to get a literary novel published and my book doesn't have that killer plot or pitch that immediatly gets attention. I am wondering if there are other ways at getting agents or publishers attention besides merely sending out letters. It seems like such a difficult way to go about things, sending out a letter and maybe a chapter of your book and waiting six months to hear back, almost always a rejection. I also have the disadvantage of not having had any short stories published in journals or magazines. Does anyone have stories of other ways they got their novels published besides sending out letters?
