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.
ER: 4/13/17
Form letter from assistant Patricia Nelson
ER 3/7/17 - form rejection from Patricia
Historical romance 78k
ER 3/7/17 (Pass from Patricia Nelson--interesting project, not right for her list.) I'll query Jill with DI next month.
FR: Sept 13, 2016 (from assistant Patricia)
R&R: Sept 16, 2016 (from Kevan with lots of great feedback)
R&R Sent: Jan 5, 2017
Rejection: Feb 9, 2017 (from assistant Patricia - disappointed to not hear from Kevan herself after revision)
PR: 30.01.2017 - Kevan forwarded my query to Jill, so moving this over to her profile.
