Submitted 100 pages through the Manuscript Academy. It's expensive, but hopefully worth it to get feedback on my novel and maybe some genuine interest. Cross your fingers for me, y'all!!

HOWEVER, not only did she give me very positive feedback and complimented my writing, she suggested another agent I should submit to. A positive experience overall.

Thanks so much for thinking of me and sending along your query and sample material for _______.

Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I’ve decided I’m not the best agent to represent this book. I’m simply not enthusiastic enough about my ability to sell this work to offer representation.

I wish you the best of luck with placing CHERI LOVED successfully and in your future endeavors. Be well and stay safe.

All the best,

Amy Elizabeth Bishop
