So far, the new agent hunt has yielded only one response, a form letter, and a number of no-replies that just passed into the time frame of "take silence as rejection".

I have to send out more on Monday, but there are remarkably few agents working with proper SF at this time.
This is a super hard gig. Writing is only the start. Hustling/networking is everything. Time to get back to submitting more stories, after this editing gig and slated book review.

One plus: the industry is in transition. If we can weather this storm, maybe the next phase will be different. Salutations in the struggle!
