For those of you out there who are wondering whether your chances of getting an agent is better or worse than your chances of getting hit by lightning. . .
Here are some 2009 stats from the Nelson Literary Agency–and they’re not even in New York:
38,000–number of queries received
55– number of manuscripts requested
6–number of new clients accepted
And number of books sold? 15
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? We have no idea. Just makes us thankful for Bridle Path Press.
