I would mention, though, that The Sound of the Trees came out in 2002. Sloan's list has matured a lot since then, and his responsibilities have broadened. Of course it's great when a new author gets interest from very established agents, but I think there's a lot of good in signing with an agent that is on the way up with you.David Anthony Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885922955551669016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-79443410791605330892008-03-13T19:32:00.000-04:002008-03-13T19:32:00.000-04:00David,Any idea how Robert Gatewood, first time aut...David,<BR/><BR/>Any idea how Robert Gatewood, first time author, got his ms in the hands of Sloan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-7714785092024794292008-03-03T14:08:00.000-05:002008-03-03T14:08:00.000-05:00Yep. And that's just the way it should be. Honestl...Yep. And that's just the way it should be. Honestly, I think I'm better off and know more about publishing and had to push my writing further all because of the ways things didn't happen easily. That said, I only had to write three novels to get one published. Some have to work harder and longer than that!David Anthony Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885922955551669016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-67847501062547324472008-03-03T13:40:00.000-05:002008-03-03T13:40:00.000-05:00I've heard getting an agent is a great idea but on...I've heard getting an agent is a great idea but only if you get a good one.

I suppose I could post a sample chapter from them, if folks are interested. I'm proud of that early stuff, even though I also understand why it would have been hard to publish. I'd compare it to the apprentice work of a craftsman. It's not a bad chair I made, but it's got its nicks and cuts. The glue is a bit heavy on that joint, and the one leg was just a little too long and even though I sanded it to equal height you can still tell - if you look - that it's not perfectly formed. <BR/><BR/>That's how I feel about those novels. But, at the same time, they are very, very much me. The writer I am now began in them. That will always be true.David Anthony Durhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885922955551669016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-24454968160538082222008-03-01T16:16:00.000-05:002008-03-01T16:16:00.000-05:00David, hey thanks for clearing up all my nagging q...David, hey thanks for clearing up all my nagging questions. And, yean, I'd call it a success story. <BR/><BR/>Too, what left me hanging are those two unpublished manuscripts. You should post their first chapters on your page, just for fun.

Why leave out the name of that agent? Well, it's no big deal, but I'm inclined to mention by name the people that were positive forces in my career. That agent wasn't that, but also I don't think he matters so much as an individual. It's not like he's the only one that has turned down a good book. He's not the only one that has other people read submissions. That's pretty standard. So I end up thinking of him as a type - a reality - of the publishing world. That's more significant to me than who the guy actually was as an individual. <BR/><BR/>Who is he? Well, he could be anybody... (I mean that.)<BR/><BR/>An aside... Assuming you are Thumper I'd like to thank you for those wonderful reviews of Walk Through Darkness and Gabriel's Story. Just so you know, I read them when they came out and was very pleased. Thank you for kind words, the humor, the insight and the support.<BR/><BR/>ABW,<BR/><BR/>Depressing? What do you mean?
