I got my first request!!
« on: November 26, 2012, 05:52:53 PM »
I sent out a query a few weeks ago to test the waters with my newest version, and, after receiving 35 form rejections for previous versions, I got my first request!! Yay! ;D It's amazing how far that little bit of encouragement goes in relieving the sting of those former rejections. Thank you so much to everyone who helped get it to that point. I couldn't have done it without all of you. You all are awesome! :clap:

Congrats! I still remember mine - Jennifer Flannery of Flannery Literary in Naperville. Almost three years ago. Good luck in this heinous, character-building process!

Thanks, everyone! I read the email from the agent at least twenty times before sending the partial. I couldn't seem to convince myself I'd read it right. :)
