EQ: 4/13/16

noranne, as weird as it may sound, you're lucky that you received a detailed rejection. I don't know what they wrote to you, but I imagine you must now have some idea as to how to improve your query letter to attract possible publishers/agents, or even how to improve your story.

I've received plenty of rejections, but what frustrates me is that they don't say why. I have no idea where I want wrong nor how to improve.

I wish you all luck!

EQ 6/12 For a #SFFpit fav. Sent synposis and 1st 3 chapters.
FR 6/23 My first full request ever!

Very detailed rejection 8/22. Invited to resubmit after revision.

Eeep! Full request after query from #SFFpit received (and sent) today!!!

Noranne - The reviewer really liked your first three chapters. Sent him the full today!

Congrats, noranne! That first full request is such an awesome feeling!

Still waiting to hear from my query, but it's good to know responses are starting to come in. Good luck and YAY!!!

EQ 6/14 Also got a favorite for SFFpit--good luck!

EQ: 06/13/14 after my pitch was favorited during #SFFpit on Twitter. Sent query letter, 1st three chapters, and synopsis per guidelines.

I know they're a relatively new, small publishing house. Does anyone have any other information about them other than what's on their website?

Good luck everyone!

It is a great thing to get a little feedback. I think I'll be focusing solely on the agent search once I've done more revisions.

Sounds like a good thing that you haven't yet heard back. Hope it's great news when you do! :)

Still haven't heard back from them. I guess that's a good thing?

LoraReedPalmer sorry about the rejection, but that's GREAT that they gave you feedback and are open to resubmitting. I love when they give you feedback!

Had an email from them waiting for me when I woke this morning with a couple great, specific points of feedback. The reviewer expressed a willingness to reread if I wished to resubmit.

I may just edit accordingly and take them up on it.

Still keeping fingers crossed for you, Circleslide!

Yes, it's been a month I have been keeping track of them on twitter. I don't really want to nudge.

Not yet. Keeping my fingers crossed for us both! I'm thinking we should hear something back soon either way since it's been about a month.

Yes, I still haven't heard back from them and I sent it in 3/26.

Have you heard anything LoraReedPalmer?
