So after about a year, Brad and I had eliminated the possibility of finding an agent, and through that agent a major contract, simply because of his lack of a platform.

Well, a big day around here, as we managed to time the release of the Kindle edition of the book Defining Moments, A Father’s Journey into his Son’s Oxy Addiction with the pub date of a feature story on the author.

This was going to be a blog post about the great variety of projects I have on my plate right now: Agenting: pitching a novel to publishers.

I may have mentioned that I am an assistant editor for Narrative Magazine, a highly regarded on-line literary journal that has, sadly, rejected my work in the past.
