Good Information

I doubt that it will ever be easy to find a good literary agent, but Peter Miller will give your query letter a good read. Though he didn't go for mine, he did at least take the time out to explain the whys and wherefores of his needs. I guess in this world literature is a business, a difficult truth for a would be literary artist to swallow, but a truth that can't be ignored by a writer who wants to find a major publisher. At least he was honest, and there's something to be said for that.
