Now do you really want to wait to get an agent?

This is what I can tell you from my own experience. You might spend a year trying to get one out of 100 agents asking for a partial. They still may reject the ms afterward.

Once they do accept taking you on as a client, they may spend 6 mos. trying to find the publisher if they really like your book, then they may give up and your ms just sits on a shelf.

If a publisher does choose to publish your book, you still have to wait nine months for it to be on the shelves.
