Edgy Fiction
Wow, I have found my niche!
I have sent my manuscript to agents in both the secular and christian. Secular feel my plot is too "religious" or "spiritual". The christian agencies feel my plot is too explicit. I have taken my manuscript and have began revising my plot. First, trying to exclude the christian aspect and to hit the secular. Then, I will try to tone-down my plot and hit the christian agencies. I did not feel great about this. I wanted my manuscript to be accepted the way it was...edgy fiction.

I'll also second Michelle's kudos for Sheaf House (and a big shout out to her for telling me of them). Because of its subject matter, violence, and dialogue, I'd despaired of ever finding a home for my apocalyse-with-a-twist thriller Heading Home. But with SH it did, and it's due out from them this coming August. Thank God, Joan and her team "got it," which is critical for anyone of us looking to push the envelope.
