Hi,
I'm in the submission phase, and haven't found the right agent yet (although, I think I'm on the right tracks). I've had this sort of growing worry recently that and agent will accept my query and represent my book. Although that doesn't sound too bad, what if they decide after a few weeks/months that the book isn't for them, or it won't sell, or it was a mistake to accept the offer?
If I got accepted, I'd feel pretty excited and probably tell people. And then if they dropped the book I'd be humiliated, as well as distraught and all that. Can an agent decide to stop representing an author once they say yes? More importantly, how often does that happen? I hope it's not too common, but you never know.
Sorry for freaking out like this, and so suddenly, it's just I have no idea how all this works. Hope somebody out there can answer this!
Thanks for your time
