I still have two agents looking at my manuscript, but I had an agent approach me who was very interested. She asked if other agents were looking at it and wanted it asap. I sent the full manuscript and two hours later she rejected it saying the book wasn't quite there. She was very nice, but it stil...

This will be the last time i will post this query. Thank you so much for your input, and any thoughts you have. Lucy A master's degree from Penn State can't get her hired at museums, daycare centers, fast food restaurants, or as a body guard for Brittney Spears. With a dwindling bank account, her op...

I am not sure if unemployed post graduates want to read about other unemployed post graduates? One of my friends who I graduated wi...

This is my first time posting. I have submitted my query to a few agents with no luck. I was hoping people could look at the first two paragraphs and offer suggestions. Thanks Dear Literary Agent, Lucy is the typical post graduate dreaming of the perfect job as a historian. After applying at museums...
