I've written a satirical novel and would like to find an agent to market it for
me. I was wondering if anyone on the list knows a good agent or how to find a
good one. If anyone can assist me, please contact me offlist at
snedek...@verizon.net
I will paste a draft of a synopsis of my book in the form of a letter below if
you have a minute to take a look at it. I think the satire is funny, but
selling a political satire might be a difficult task!
The College Essays of Jenny Delight is a satirical novel set at a fictional
college campus. The first part of the novel, which is the first two thirds of
the manuscript, consists in short comic episodes written by Jenny Delight, a
student at the SUNY/College at Old Windsor. This part of the novel ends when
the main character, Jenny's sociology professor, is killed by an emotionally
disturbed student. The Professor's murder takes place in the middle of a
Student Life Committee meeting while the shortage of counselors in the
college's Counseling Center is being debated.
The second part of the novel, which is the last third of the manuscript,
consists of four documents: the final six email messages sent by, Fred Snyder,
The Sociology professor, on the day he was murdered, a web memorial for Snyder,
a report he wrote on the work of the Student Life Committee and a memoir of his
childhood in rural New Jersey. The novel concludes with an After word by the
Chair of the Sociology Department.
The two parts of the novel are united by the life and death of Fred Snyder, the
lives of several of Jenny's friends and family members and Jill, the Old
Windsor Librarian. The action of the novel takes place at the college. The day
to day life of the college is the primary object of the satire with Jenny's
family being the secondary object.
