I've been on-again, off-again searching for an agent for my book for three years now, and I think I'm nearing the point to where I don't believe I'm going to get published. I should probably spend an entire weekend just finding suitable agents and submitting to them, but my schedule just stays so busy that I can never get around to doing that.
So far I've not gotten so much as a follow-up query from an agent to see more of my manuscript, ask more questions, etc. I tried to follow the templates from this forum for a good query letter, but I don't know if that's the reason that no agents seem to be interested in me.
If I do ever get an agent (much less a publisher), I think I'll break the record for number of rejected submittals.
