That's awesome, Don. You must've written a kick-ass query letter to receive that many full requests so quickly!Don Zolidis wrote:Okay starting last week!

Re: Rejection Stats
I'm happy to report I've accepted an offer of representation. I am equal parts excited and terrified. (The "what if's" have set in. What if I used up all my creativity on this book, and the well is dry? What if my agent hates the next book and drops me? That's me: always finding new ways to torture myself. :-) Anyway, she wants to start subbing one of my books in about a week! Keep your digits crossed for me.

Re: Rejection Stats
Nice! Sounds like you're on a roll. I've got my fingers crossed on a revise and resubmit right now. Friday the agent is calling back.
