So far I’ve sent queries to a total of five agents and one publisher. Surprisingly, not everyone has rejected it. Three agents and the publisher did, but one agent asked to see sample chapters, and that itself is rather encouraging. What’s more, this particular agent was on my list of top three agents I hoped would be willing to represent me
Now, it’s far too early to make plans for retirement seeing as how she hasn’t even asked to see the entire manuscript yet (she will…I know she will…), but the fact remains that an agent asked to see it. Already I’m ahead of the curve, for it’s common knowledge that agents reject over ninety percent of the queries they are sent
Maybe I’m doing something right
Of course, she could write back and say she’s not interested. But if one agent is interested in it, chances are others will be, too. And among those that are I’m sure to find someone who’s as passionate about my work as I am
Here’s hoping!
