With regard to the editor/agent problem–what to do if my manuscript is issues orientated with a conservative point of view?

It was edited locally by others, and been rejected by some 40 agents (pardon me; they were not rejected, the agents simply never responded).

I will tell you 75% of the agents contacted were women, resident of New York City. Almost all the men contacted were also from New York City.

The political dynamic here is obvious. The effect every bit as pernicious as Amazon and single copy publishing.

Ideology trumps moderate earnings every time. Look at Hollywood and the uniform failure of its anti-war movies.

Where does a writer go to find a listing of conservative perspective literary agents?
