Last week, I set a goal for myself to query one agent per day. That lasted precisely 4 days. (In case anyone's wondering, yes, I did receive a rejection...haven't heard from the rest, yet).
Agent #5 asks for complicated details...I just can't whip this one together, nor do I want to. Based on the feedback from lots of folks at the First 250 Words blogfest (Thank you Elle Strauss), I need to rewrite the beginning just a little.
So...there will be a slight delay on Agent Query #5, while I do a minor rewrite of the first 10 pages, and also shrink the synopsis into a single page.

Would love to read and respond to your comments, so please post! I blog Monday through Saturday, mostly as a night-owl. Please remember to type the validation word on the screen that pops up after you comment--my professional code of business conduct contract and code of ethics necessitates that I moderate comments on public social media, so there will be a short delay in viewing your comment online.

Sounds good! Though I think it's nice to have your letters out there, I also believe it's pointless to query just for the sake of querying. If you can strengthen the story further, that's so much more important! ^.^
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI sent a ton out in Sept and OCt. Have heard back from exactly three since. Slow going, isn't it??
Marieke, I agree--the time to hone my craft is now.
ReplyDeleteTerri, hope you get good news soon!
