That's so exciting, OP!

I don't have any practical advice, but I know that many of the romance writers of the world write under pseudonyms, etc. and keep their identities hidden while still being public-ish figures. I have no idea how they do it, but I would love to find out! Eloisa James did it for years before outing herself as a professor of English Literature at Fordham. Apparently by wearing contacts (hey, if it worked for Superman...): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eloisa_James

Op,
Are you being published for the the first time?

How long till an agent responded to you?

I'm asking because I wrote a novel and am considering submitting it for possible publication.

Also, would you recommend Curtis Brown agents as well for a New Yorker?

If not, anyone can recommend agents based in the U.S. who would take on a previous unpublished writer? My book is extremely unique - unlike anything ever published I believe. I need someone who is willing to take a risk...

What's your book about? What genre? What audience (age)?

The writers market is a book updated every year with agents and publishers.

YA Fiction. Don't want to give too many details but it's not a crime or thriller.

These agents are on my wish list (for the novel I haven't finished lol) but there are so many more.

Another option besides the writers market book is looking at books you like, that are similar to yours, and see what agent they used.

I don't think it's weird at all to write for a non Jewish audience. I blog for the non Jews too. I'm so used to it that although I would love to write for the Jewish magazines, I have to learn how Smile

I'm impressed by everyone who writes books!

Lemony snicket is the supposed biographer of the Baudelaire children in a series of unfortunate events. The author used it both as a pseudonym and a literary device as the character made a brief appearance in the series. He had a disguised author photo too. But of course people eventually found out who he was - they were curious.

J.D. Robb is the pseudonym of Nora Roberts, who wrote chiefly romance books and wanted to break into the crime novel genre.

JK Rowling as Robert Galbraith - again the deception didn't last very long.

I'm familiar with the Lemony Snicket books. I meant, if I bumped into the person who wrote the books at a social function, I would not know it was him. His picture is not on the books and he uses a pseudonym. Whearas, I did actually see J.K Rowling once and instantly recognised her. Her picture is everywhere.
