Hello all. I am from the south of India. I have just finished my ‘novel in stories’ and hoping to submit it to agents in the next few days. Found absolutewrite through google and, after some random browsing, liked it. Thanks for letting me on board.

Good luck finding an agent, this forum has a lot of relevant threads that you can stalk for a while, maybe you'll even learn something new.

Welcome to AW! This is a really good corner of the internet.

Have you checked out particular agents to send it to? Remember that they should be making money by making money for you (which they get a percentage of), not from reading fees or any such nonsense.

Welcome! What kind of novel have you written?

Thanks. After a couple of years of hair-pulling, I have decided that 'political/satirical thriller' is the label that fits it best. And it's a 'novel in stories'.

Thanks. I'll remember that. I have shortlisted eight agents. I am trying my luck with four of them first.

Congrats on finishing a novel!! I'd say I'm jealous, but it's more like a feeling of pride. I can only imagine the amount of work you put into it. I'm new too. Google is a pretty great tool. ;)

Hey! Welcome to the forum! What exactly do you mean by "a novel in stories"? Is it like a bunch of shorts that all take place around the same time/events?
