Hello, George!
I don't have an agent (although there are times when one might have been useful) but my situation may be somewhat unique. "A Hiker's Guide to Purgatory" is the only novel I've ever written or plan to write, and Ignatius Press is the only publisher I ever wanted to publish it. I was blessed to have hit the bulls eye on my first and only try.

Michael, Thank you for the answer. I must have missed the Goodreads alert. You were blessed, to be sure. I have just pitched Ignatius for my novel "The Orphanage." A Viet Nam vet, it's my first novel to be completed. Any advice or reminiscences about dealing with Ignatius? As a Catholic writer, I have been welcomed by "Christian" writers but my book seems "too Catholic" for "Christian" publishers.
