I was very lucky - at least I thought I was last year - as an agent approached me and suggested that I turn my (niche) blog into a book. Together we put together a proposal and he took it to several publishers.
But no one bit, and since then he has pretty much stopped contacting me or even responding to emails. I suggested rewriting the proposal, and he said, no it will go to some other publishers. Since then, I have heard nothing.
Now even I have realised that this isn't a partnership that's going to go anywhere. And what I want to do now is to take the book to smaller publishers myself. But he won't answer my emails and tell me who it's already submitted to.
So I have two questions. One is, shall I just send it off to publishers anyway and hope there is no crossover?
And the second is, is this normal? Do agents often do this, or shall I be sympathetic and assume he has had some kind of massive nervous breakdown? He seemed very nice when I met him.
