I am a guy from Denmark who is dumb enough to think he is great at writing Fantasy Novels in English. I am still waiting for someone to tell me otherwise.

Have you considered a book that's if the author was the child of Tolkien and Dashiell hammett but influenced by Tim O'Brien?

I am really hoping some agents are looking for a noir tinged epic Fantasy about the aftermath of the epic event for the mswl day.

By the way, their contact info can be found on the last page of the PDF.

@ottersediting.com was one of the editors.

A Sample Taste: Finding the Right Line Editor

I took part in a Line-Editing Case Study. As the Author guinea pig.

I think what the six line-editors did can have value for all authors, so if interested, the case study can be found here:

I think a literary Post epic fantasy is just what people need

Yeah trying to make it viable is what got me into this mess.

And still working on that.

Nah it's tight. Buuuut long story, I got a Manuscript assessment to figure where and how to split it to viable lengths.

She loved it. And wanted to pass it on to a danish publisher where she works as a consultant.
They have it now. So, that's why.

I mean I can't really query agents with a 205k first draft*.

Can I?

*The manuscript is in English.

Sooo at this point, a danish publisher has my manuscript.

It might take them a while to get back to me and I am still confused about what I should do. Apart from working on draft 2.

If they're interested I don't want to do this alone.

Ah well.

Never seen my book printed out before. That's wild. Makes it feel more real.

I haven't seen any other literary agents do this, but I love your approach to social media.
That I can see stuff that could be my book often is just icing on the cake.

My world is Oan, An earth sized planet. There are four continents, each inhabited by a different species; Dwarves, Vanenim, Derenians,humans. There was once a fifth continent of the elves that is now Sundered, and shows up in fragments as small islands and disappear again.
The Sundered Isles.

There's been some interest in Among The Broken so here's an Agents guide I made for Questpit a few months back and with potential publisher interest as well I should probably make it better.
