34. Keep at it.
I'm serious. Do you have an agent? I'm not one, neither do I know any, but this strikes me as a project that's just screaming a need for representation.

A publisher may not be interested in the written musings of a taxicab driver, presented to them by the author. However, a publisher may very well be interested in the incisive and heart-rending pathos of soldiers' stories related by the anonymous witness of the Everyman taxicab driver, presented to them by an agent advocate for the project and the author.

Books need marketability, and these encounters you've written about are marketable. People are hungry for the truth, and that's what you're writing. You're serving as a witness, not only for them but for us.

Keep on. :thumbsup:
