Hello Chelsea, My novel features a female protagonist who is in her late 40s. Teetering as I am now on the precipice of vaulting into the agent-query abyss I pause and wonder if industry intimations are true about preferring younger women as principle characters? Certainly and sadly we hear this about the film industry. But in publishing literary novels, too? Thanks much in advance for your thoughts on this! Warm regards, Terril L. Shorb
