Hello Bernard,

I have been a fan of yours for a long time and I believe you met a friend of mine James Bicheno at the HNS conference last year. I’d just like ask for some advice. I am finishing my final draft of an historical ‘factasy’ novel (I won’t reveal any more!) and I cannot seem to get an agent. I’ve had very positive feedback and two historical fiction authors have said they love it, but neither was willing to represent me. I thought combining fantasy and history in the manner of a modern-day Arthurian legend might be quite an appealing concept and I’ve not had any real complaints about the writing, yet all I ever get from agents is they’ve not ‘fallen in love with it.’ Can you offer any advice on approaching agents? Thank you very much!
