I participated in #pitmad on 9/13 and Margaret Bail asked for first 10 pages. Sent it 9/13 and just got a request for a full!

Not sure where to add this, but I received a request from Margaret Bail, an asst. agent, from the Twitter PitchMadness contest. She's not listed on the website, so I suspect she's new. Fingers crossed!

Twitter Pitch: 9/13/12
Partial Request: 9/13/12

I met Andrea last September through a workshop, where she requested a partial. I have not heard either way in over four months. My nudge has gone unanswered. I'm considering it a silent rejection.

I pitched a medical thriller to Andrea at the PNWA meeting last summer, she requested 100 pages. I finished the rewrite in Feb and sent requested material 2/16/11. On 3/3/11 she requested full manuscript. Electronic rejection with comments on 4/27/11. When I emailed back to thank her I asked if she was open to a proposal for a non fiction, and she responded 4/28 that she was. I found her professional and reliable, and plan to submit a nonfiction proposal, which is her forte. She normally only accepts queries from people she has met, the big advantage of pitching at conferences.

EQ: 3/20/11
Request for 20 pages: 3/21/11

I hadn't noticed the "do not query unless etc." (duh) until after I sent my unsolicited query and felt really stupid until I got Andrea's e-mail requesting pages. I guess sometimes it pays to try even when you're sternly advised not to. Wish me luck.

ER: 3/25/11 - Oh well, that's how it goes - and on to the next one
