Are you pursuing a literary agent? I talked to Kevin a bit about that at Stash Bash and he agreed with me on the importance of representation. He also said that it was difficult to get before you have something out there. He didn't get an agent until after Clerks, but said it's an absolute neccesity. I had thought of focusing on a top-notch industry machine, but he had some advice on that too. He said don't. :) He suggested I find a small agency, preferably brand new, and grow with the company; be the big fish in a small pond. That way you get all the attention, your work is important to them (because THEY need the money) and you won't have to compete within your own agency for work.
Just sharing.
