Hello everyone! I'm sorry for my poor English (I'm not native English speaker), but for now I meets the great problem with book submission. I have a novel (59000 words); it's like Kafka - Proust - Hesse like book (highly depressive stuff). For the small words number I decided to hire the artists and made text like an artbook. My artists are famous (for example, I work with "Perfect World" videogame artist; others are the same art quality). Now I have one big problem. Who works (from agents) with such kind of books and how to submit it? Surfing via Internet I dont find any one, who provide agency works for this kinds of books (it's not graphic novel; it's colored artbook - 59k words + 100 colored and b/w pictures). Thanks for any tips/hints. PS I live in Russia, so the snail mail is not for me.
I couldn't find much, but there is a website (Canadian) that I remember from awhile back that I think may be of interest to you. I think it's anteism.com ( I hope I'm not breaking a rule by putting the address up). I know they don't do comics anymore. I have a side solo project that is sort of similar so I'm going to watch this thread to see if anyone knows anything else. Good luck and welcome!
I know where I made a mistake submitting my book. The artbooks and heavy pictured books should be presented to graphic novels and comics literary agents.
