Thanks for the information. Maybe it's only a coincidence, but since marketer Lynne W. Scanlon over at the publishingcontratian.com helped me identify my market (special interest groups) and suggested I mention that market in the marketing plan I attach to my query letters, there has been a significant increase in requests for my ms. Also, I followed Lynne's suggestion to ask a number of these special interest groups to read my manuscript and I have received valuable feedback that should help me improve the novel while, hopefully, increasing my chances of finding a publisher.
