Proposal Requested 2020.08.29
Rejected 2020.10.13
Submitted again because I didn't check my notes.
Submitted 2022.02.16
Manuscript requested 2022.07.07
sample requested?? 2022.11.17
I really don't know what to make of this. I'm very far along in the self publishing path now so don't really care any more other than curiosity. Lot of oddities here, 10 months to respond? Manuscript requested before sample chapter? Not really sure what to make of this but interesting to see where it goes.
Update 2022.11.18
Had a 15 minute conversation on the phone and he wants a second chapter.
Update 2022.11.21
After the second chapter said there wasn't enough tension and that the story doesn't really work as a memoir, needs a wider viewpoint. He said he loves the idea of this book but that it would be a hard sell to publishers.
Oh, well, It will be in bookstores in January regardless.

Very nice personal e-mail with feedback on why he didn't think he could sell it. Tried to call me, as well. Told me to send my next project to him. Overall good experience!!
