Listened to her on the Manuscript Academy today doing 10 Queries. She said she requests lots of fulls because she likes to err on the side of requesting, but rejects most of them.

Full Request 06/01/21
Rejected 07/02/21 but Cece was so kind, thorough, and helpful and I truly appreciated everything she said in her very heartfelt response. Truly a fantastic agent.

Signed up for a live 10-page consult & query letter review through Manuscript Academy. What someone posted below about their agency not asking for sample pages with the query is incorrect. I just looked at their submission guidelines and they ask for a query and the first 10 pages.

Pitched her in person and LOVED her, but unfortunately, I think I lost her at the end there when I mentioned my novel was the first of 3 books I was planning in a series with rotating protagonists. She let me know that series just don't sell well and that if she'd seen that in my query, she probably would have immediately passed.

I'm honestly kind of shocked. Like, is that true?? I know in the romance world series are hella popular, and I've seen mainstream debut authors sell them successfully. I don't know. I felt unsettled after. Not a surprise when she rejected the full she'd requested early in the meeting.
