Hi,
I wrote a western romance last year, got very little response querying agents (one request for 1st 50 pages), and am wondering if I should keep it shelved.
Is the western market dead?
A friend of mine suggested I try marketing it as an historic romance since it included historic figures and skirted an historic event... the one agent that read the 1st fifty pages said "The writing is good, but it reads too much like a western."
Just seeing what everyone thinks.
I have since moved on to other projects, hoping to sell the western after I have a relationship with a publisher.
Any comments would be appreciated.
John
