In your experience is it difficult to find a literary agent to represent a novel with gay protagonists? We ask because we are about to embark on such a journey and have heard some disturbing stories about how agents prefer not to take such novels on.
Christopher Rice
It's difficult to get a literary agent period. It's just difficult right now. I wish I could put it another way. Because I'm you know who's son, I didn't ace the kind of initial challenges most writers face in getting an agent. But I hear more and more young writers being told to self publish and try to get some respectable numbers up before they even consider approaching an agent. I'm not sure if that's the best advice out there, but it's something.

I hate that you cannot edit your answers, I noticed typos in mine as well...... I would like to know if you have read any of your mother's books (apart from the mum's porn you attempted to read on your radio show! That was hilarious btw) and do you think having famous parents has helped your career or actually made you feel as if you have to prove you can do it on your own?
