Well, I used to be a naive, innocent cherubim of a writer. Then I dove into the querying process without my shield and armor. It was a massacre.

Ironically, I discovered this wonderful haven for writers after the round of queries, but better late than never! I've folded up my sleeves and am in the process of reworking my proposal. I think my synopsis is in dire need.

It's a great feeling knowing you're not alone in the struggle with your dream and while receiving help, you can also aid others to achieve their own. I think the important thing is you continue dreaming :)

How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. Good luck.

It's great that you're able to pick yourself back up. As a writer, this is a handy skill indeed. :)

Welcome Lookingglass!

I remember when I first started sending out queries before I knew what a "real" query was like. It's laughable how bad my query letter was.

Welcome Lookinglass! The query process is what led me here. I was researching how to write a query (I was lucky, I found this site FIRST), and kept seeing "Absolute Write" on the Dogpile search engine. Finally, okay, just what IS this site? LUcky me!

Good luck on your query rewrite! See you 'round the boards.
