As some of you know, I’ve been looking for an agent to represent a little thing I wrote for my kids. It’s called “Henry and the Hungry Hamper,” and it’s about a boy who does battle with his laundry hamper at bath time. Oh, and it rhymes. It’s 600 words long. Reax so far:

Good: My guess is that you will find an agent or editor who will snap this up. Good luck!

Bad: I’m afraid I’m not looking for picture book texts right now as this segment of the market is very flat, and editors are terrible and not buying many these days, alas. Then too, rhymed texts are proving to be challenging as well.

So…onward? Upward? Sideways?
