We want to avoid losing books.

Is it possible to wind up being completely unable to publish your work because of the agent you chose to do business with? From reading the first link, it sure looks like it is. Wow, scary thought. How many books do I have in me? Not enough, for sure.

Please read this first: http://bookangst.blogspot.com/2005/06/misadventures-in-misrepresentation.html

I read all of it, and all the comments. Ann Rittenberg was written well of. Judson Knight of the Knight Agency was written well of. This is a start. Now my question is, what do these people specialize in? Nice as they are, submiting a work to them that is outside their scope isn't going to help an author, because they won't be interested. I offer links to each of them, but I have not done the homework yet to know what kind of material they represent.

Notice that a bunch of the comments are posted by people who show up as profiles that are a number a mile long, I'll bet most of the people commenting this tale are agents.
