Aww, heh he really did seem like a sweet guy. He did have a lot of good things to say about your work though. That's gotta be encouraging! I think he's right in that you have a lot of great things ahead of you, keep trying my lovely.
See, if it were a matter of "what doesn't work," I think he would have told me so. Unfortunately, with the economy and the publishing industry being what it is, agents have to be really picky about what they take on, and if they're the least bit unsure, it's usually better for them to pass. That goes double for Mr. Malk, who has a bazillion clients and can't take on too many...

Have you ever seen/read Hataraki Man? I watched the anime recently, and Hiroko's struggles reminded me of your struggles at a couple of points. Hiroko is awesome, though, so I take this as a good sign.

Is it possible to get lists of "what didn't work for you?" and then give it another go with that in mind?
Or is that a bad idea on an ethical level?
