There’s a link on the rejection letter which connects to a graph of the new query tracker book, stating the top reasons why agents reject. She did not specify why as the rejection letter w as the same as listed below.(Although it’s evident that she thinks it’s one of them.) I hope my writing was not what spurred her into including the link. Nonetheless, I am noting it here so any of you, don’t think it is specifically because of your writing. Carry on…
