MG Historical help, please?
My latest WIP is another MG Historical, while I query my first ms. I've had a few rejections from agents, with a couple kindly stating that "MG Historical is a hard place right now." Does anyone know of any agents/indie publishers that might be interested in this area, so I'm not banging my head against a brick wall? It is with Penguin WriteNow and a couple of competitions, as I really do believe in this one, but I'd like to get an agent one day!

@Juno Baker thank you from me too, Juno! You've prompted me to order the latest Mslexia guide. Have you also heard that historical fiction is a bit of a difficult sell at the moment, or do you think it depends on the sub-genre and whether you're already a known author? I've written my first historical novel, inspired by a true family story, but I'm wondering whether the market has had enough of Victorian English crime for the moment ;-)
