New project set to start querying.  Lets hope for lots of partials and fulls!

[LeahClifford]

I've received two requests for fulls, but I'm not totally comfortable putting who they're from. Most of you know or can figure it out...I don't know. Guess there's just something I have about jinxing it if I write it out in a public forum! I'll definitely add the names if/when I get a rejection or *gasp*...something else! Till then:

2 fulls out

[Jessica V.]

Queried from end of September till end of October:

(in order they came in) -
1 full, 1 partial, 2 rejections, 1 full, 1 reject, 1 partial, 1 full, 1 full, 1 reject

Total so far: 4 fulls, 2 partials, 4 rejections

[justwrite]

But those are pretty good stats, just the same. You heard fast. I've been dangling for ages.

[LeahClifford]

Up to two fulls and a partial...

[LeahClifford]

*update 3 fulls and 2 partials (not counting the partial that became a full)   

[DavidLewis]

I have eight manuscripts; however, I am trying only to push three in a series. The stats below are about those three manuscripts only.
After two years of working on queries and revisions these are my stats to date:
Queries sent 91
Rejections 34
No responses 55
Showed interest 1- Hartline-Terry Burns
Requests for proposal 1- AMG- Dan Penwell [waiting for response after four months now]

[Miss Java]

I've received ZERO rejections!

Ah hem, of course I've sent out ZERO queries at this point...


Gotta finish the manuscript first.

MJ...

Don't let Lizzie eat it!

[Miss Java]

 

Don't give her any ideas!

[justwrite]

It's been a week and three days since the agent who has my full told me she "loves it" and asked me if I was still interested in representation. I told her I was and she said she still had to finish reading the ms and would get back in a few days with a "definite answer".

So I wait.

And tear out my hairs, one by one, by one.......
