Why is it so hard to get a literary agent? I was in this game in 2005, fast forward to now there seems to be four times more agents and they are way more picky.

The internet, blogs, self-publishing have siphoned a lot of dogshit away from the major publishers. They're very happy not to receive those query letters anymore...

Just like Hollywood, publishers are looking for stuff that will sell and become a franchise...and the genres that sell like hotcakes are chick-lit/romance and children's. They don't give a shit what you look like.
