Hello all,

Is Duotrope still a good resource for agents to pitch fictional novel queries to? How about Agentquery.com? I have a 90k word fictional crime novel and am trying to determine the optimal way to sell this beast. Do I really have to purchase an outdated listing from Barnes & Noble or is there a more efficient internet outlet?

Also, thank you so much for the advice to just keep writing. Creation is a blessing. Building a world and a story within it is the second most enjoyable part of my life. No matter how much you plot a story out there's something so enjoyable about how the characters come alive once the pen hits the page. I have a hard time with my brain hitting overdrive and I can never thank the regulars of this thread for guiding me towards a productive outlet.

I used Querytracker.net and found it incredibly helpful. Writer's Market (the big B&N book) also has an online site that you can just pay for instead and get all you need, though I found the general info from QT's subscription much more helpful.

Duotrope is good to find response times and whatnot, but I mostly used it for things like literary journals or magazines to send shorts to as opposed to full-on manuscripts. It's a pretty big site, though, so it doesn't hurt to give the trial a look and see if it fits what you need.

Thank you, greatly appreciate the advice!
