I began querying on May 18th 2010. Within three days I had a request for a full and a week after that, another request for a full and a partial. Since then, it's been nothing but rejections and this week, my full and partial were both rejected (with some feedback). Even though I still have a full ou...

Congrats on the offer!!!!!! :D

LONG ISLAND ICED TEAS FOR ALL!

She has an amazing voice and got her first pub deal at seventeen... quite impressive. She ...

Will the supposed e-book and self-publishing revolution give rise to a new kind of Nazism in a world where customers get exposed to the slush pile and reviews are so easily manipulated?

Good weather and conferences are probably slowing down response times, but that's ok, I'm enjoying the s...

"Georgia was seriously impressed by the doppelganger of JJ Abrams that waited for her in her hotel room."

This thread is a huge comfort to me, so i'm jumping in. Queries sent out:15 Requests for partial:0 Requests for full:0 Rejections: 4, two personalized-one with a request to send other work, two no-responses in alloted time. It's still early in the game, right? I'm trying to focus on my other WIP's ...

First Manuscript Queries sent: One Requests for full: One Manuscript Two Queries sent: Two Request for Full: One Form Rejections: Two (one was from the first agent who said the kind things about manuscript one- that agent also requested the second full) Is there a reason why you only sent out two q...
