Re: Rejection Stats

I've found it reassuring reading through this thread and seeing how many others are still searching, a few dozen queries later. Also, the folks who sent many queries but did eventually find an agent. Here're my numbers to date:
Months querying so far: 5
Versions of query: 5 (that were sent out, anyway)
Queries sent: 65
Form rejections: 25
Closed/no response: 12
Partial requests: 1 (turned into full)
Full requests: 1
Rejections on full: 2
Open/no response yet: 29
And while I wait I've been working on a new novel, which might be ready to query in a month or two, too.
