Also, maybe you're already doing it but why don't you try to get published short stories in magazines or small books or even write stylish reviews ?
This would make nice addition(s) in your C.V. when comes the time to publish your novel and being taken seriously... maybe
Unfortunately when it comes to getting an agent for a novel the only thing they care about is whether the voice is strong, if they have published novels before and can the story sell. They do look at credentials when it comes to writing organizations but don't consider short stories as they are a different breed altogether.
My cousin and I have been writing since the tender age of 5 and we can write this novel together because we know what the other person's voice and style is like and feel it would work within the confines of this particular novel.
but thank you for your concern and suggestions! ^_^
As with any artistic profession there is no guarantee of success but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
