Alright, so now that I have laid out my ideal fantasy world of Pandemonium. Let me tell you what I’ve done to sell it: I’ve had it beta read and revised to oblivion and I’ve queried every agent that could plausibly be interested in it I can find over the last two and a half years. I’ve gotten two full requests, but no takers. I have a six-book series planned, but I’ve only written the first novel and am desperately trying to sell it.

The book involves the Stranger Church being sold to a prosperity gospel preacher who resurrects a theocratic vampire to force people to give him money using hypnotism. As you might expect, this doesn’t go as planned and then locals have to take him down.

I have to have applied to over one hundred agents at this point. I’m wondering if maybe I need to start applying directly to indie publishers at this point. Beer Run was a book I wrote to get a writing credit to promote this Pandemonium. Getting published in the indie sphere took a lot less time than getting published through an agent. I’m wondering if I need to switch tracts and stop querying agents and start querying publishers.

On the other hand, maybe there is something still wrong with how I am writing it. Now, I’ve only given you all an introduction to the story (which I promise is a real story and not just exposition), but if you see something that might be keeping the story from getting published. Tell me that too. Be completely honest.

So, just throwing myself out there to the internet world: what do you think I should do? Switch to Indies? Cut out this or that part of the concept? Just give up? Tell me. I can take it.
