Thanks for thinking of me, Kim. A book such as you describe is very difficult to get off the ground unless the author is already famous or most of the essays in the collection have been previously published. I would suggest you try to get individual essays published first, before you try to get an agent for the collection, as it's just too hard for a agent to sell this kind of work by an unpublished author.


Best of luck.
