I was eager, excited, knew nothing about querying, suffered greatly from the rejection, considered setting the picture of the agent on fire...^-^... If I ever meet him in person I think I might crawl into a hole. My manuscript made a complete turnaroud since then, so has my reaction to rejection. I haven't had the courage to resubmit to the same agent. I don't think I ever will.<br /><br />What are your views to submitting to a different agent within the same company? I don't believe they pass stuff around to see if it fits better with someone else, but what do I know about agent protocol?<br /><br />Thanks.Laila Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430076999393883312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-8340941719498725002011-03-24T06:42:00.162-07:002011-03-24T06:42:00.162-07:00And how should we usually go about resubmitting? I...And how should we usually go about resubmitting? In my case, I started a novel and queried when I was just beginning (I know, stupid, but I didn't know better back then). That was two years ago. Since then I've dropped it, then revisited it and changed it completely. But it still has the same main characters and the main plot is still the same, even though structure, narrative style, defining details and subplots are different. When it's finished and completely polished (not making the same mistake twice here!) should I query as a new submission or as a resubmission? Is it worth mentioning I queried two years ago when I had just 20 pages that are completely from what my first 20 pages look like now? Or should I just treat as something new?Gabriela Lessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265214314915980398noreply@blogger.com
