ER: 12/5/17
Form letter sent by Patricia Nelson on behalf of Kevan Lyon.
ER: 11/20
Form rejection 11/14
FR 8/28 from Kevan
ER 9/20 from Patricia Nelson - strong writing, enjoyed it, but don't "have a clear vision for how to help it break out in either the crowded current women's fiction or contemporary romance markets"
ER 9/19 from Patricia
Form letter—it even said to find an agent who would “champion” my work. I laughed out loud at the irony.
ER 9/19/17 (Passed from Patricia Nelson--not right for her list at this time.)
ER: 9/13/17 Kevan feels the story lacks a character/era that will appeal to major publishers, I.e. Would be a hard sell. Disappointing but not discouraging: she stated "your writing is very strong" so it wasn't all bad.
Historical/Women's Fiction, 104k
ER: 11/1/16
Historical mystery 74K
ER: May 19 form letter from assistant.
