Let The Games Begin

In an effort to jumpstart the publishing process for my novel, I've signed a contract with a literary agency. This is the first leg of a hopefully not too long journey through a highly competitive, niche marketing maelstrom. My research has indicated that the average publisher generally shitcans unrepresented manuscripts without giving them even a most cursory glance. I for one refuse to end up in the bottom of a circular file, so I'll play the game. I of course have no guarantee that any agent will actually sell my book, I now simply rest easy in the knowledge that someone with connections in the publishing industry is relentlessly pitching it. Let's see what happens.
