ER: 11/12

Okay, this was a little strange. Nice, but strange. Claire complimented my writing and said that they "didn't connect with the manuscript," but I could submit a new draft of the book. Since the rejection offered no details about what was wrong with it, I asked for clarification. Alas, no response. It's sorta like she offered an R&R...without any guidelines to start the R&R. If I don't know what's wrong with it, how am I supposed to rewrite it? But hey, at least it was quick!

5/7: a kind note from assistant Claire that said while I was "clearly a talented writer" they hadn't connected with it quite as much as they'd hoped and invited me to submit something in the future.

They seem lovely. Their clients are lucky.

Onward. :)

I'm really impressed by what I'm reading about Catherine Drayton, but I just stumbled on the information that she "recently returned to Sydney, Australia where she will continue to work as an associate of InkWell with the aim of helping Australian publishers and agents sell their authors’ books in the United States." I've poked around the internet, but I can't determine if she accepts queries from U.S. writers. Does anyone know?
