Are you the answer to a prayer? I've written an historical fiction and have just about decided to go the Internet route because I'm getting nowhere with the usual suspects. I truly believe it is largely because publishing is SO dominated by libs, especially females, and I happen to be a male who has, by all accounts (except lib agents) written a great book.
I have two anecdotes that are actually different versions of the same situation. The agent says, "You write just like John Grisham (the other agent said Nicholas Sparks).
"That's great!" say I.
"No," says the agent. "I hate the way he writes."
AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Just like Ann Coulter I'm thinking, "I thought your job was to get books published.
If anybody knows ANYBODY who give a good historical fiction a chance, please let me know.
Frustrated in NC.

I'm going the self-publishing and internet route initially.
I am not willing to crawl on my knees up and down 5th avenue, only to be sneered at by facially-pierced liberal elitists.
Remember, Tom Clancy could not get The Hunt For Red October published in New York, and he found another way.
I think he has sold a few books since then.

BUMP.
I think we need to have monthly threads on conservative publishing.
