Hi there. In pure haste and desperation, I have self-published two children's books. I have now, after a year realised that I simply do not have the time to market these books and was looking at going down the traditional publishing route. I have approached agents in the past who have given the MS good reception but then decided not to take it on (Grr.). My question is how should I now approach agents with my published book? I haven't approached agents for at least three years and the title has changed, so I can't imagine any would remember. Do I tell them I self-published or do I just submit it like a normal MS?
Honesty is always the best policy - if for no other reason, you will get found out eventually anyway!
