Carol Bosselman asked L.E. Modesitt Jr.:

How did you break in? Using an agent or approaching publishers directly?

L.E. Modesitt Jr. I didn't have any choice. I started out writing short fiction, and when I graduated to writing novels no agents were interested. So I approached editors directly back in the days when all publishers actually had slush piles and read them. That approach is much harder these days... MUCH harder.
