Wish I'd have read this last year :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-15711719105356231402011-02-03T11:11:41.921-08:002011-02-03T11:11:41.921-08:00This post is highly informative.

Now, I've been writing all my life simply because I love it and am fairly new to this business of querying. I handle rejection well, tossing out the idea that my writing might suck. This leads me to read over my story. It's a great sexy love story, oozing with paranormal twists, and highly unique. I see nothing wrong with it. Therefore, I've decided my error must lie within my synopsis and am currenly revamping it. Still, it's a guessing game. How can you really tell what an agent will like? It doesn't help to read between the lines of a rejection letter. That's a faux pas all on its own. Please do understand that I'm rambling, but it gets really frustrating, and I do recur to this blog for the opportunity to learn.

I have spent the past couple of days perusing all of your "babbles" and have found them to be both enlightening and effectively useful. Thank you. As an aside, do you ever sleep?C.

It helps me as a writer because it reminds me to never rush my stories and when I do finally submit not to badger the hell out of said agent.Patricia JLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582005500429122486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-24650074469503344272011-02-03T06:58:39.864-08:002011-02-03T06:58:39.864-08:00You have a tough job. ;-)You have a tough job. ;-)Debra Lynn Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238268767406623274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163829887162955058.post-50688644704402878192011-02-03T06:54:21.907-08:002011-02-03T06:54:21.907-08:00I'm always drawn to what makes an agent accept...I'm always drawn to what makes an agent accept or reject a work.
