I am slowly going insane. My inbox is like a cemetery, but without all the noisy zombies running around. Is there a big conference or book fair going on or recently ended?
Here's a question: Agents at CAA and WME have my manu as favor for friends. It's been about 2 months. Follow up? Wait? I have been querying as well, and have gotten 2 partial requests (rejected) and 16 rejections. (15 still out) Women's upmarket fiction, blerg.
The other question is that a former WME agent who is a friend helped me write my query letter....Sooo when do I re-think that?
Kind of stuck as to what the next step should be. Any thoughts, as random as this post, are welcome.
And I like everyone's willingness to share their rejections. It's not like we should be embarrassed about it.
This is the wrong thread for this question. I suggest you post on SYW and go through QLH. There are many problems with what you posted. I don't think it's ready to go out for one, and this thread is a place to post your rejections and requests-your query journey- and get support. It's not the place to go to get someone else to do the kind of agent research you should be doing yourself.I need help. Which Agent should I contact? This book is very rough and I'm not changing that, it has a vibe to it. Please E-mail me who you think should take a look see at this. It's protected so it can't be stolen...
“Shit’s really hit the fan here. The year is 2017 and boy, oh boy is it hectic. Well, to get right to the point. Nazis, Templers…damn, even the Illuminati were just a big distraction. Well in reality they were all the same thing, just different names. The real guys who called the shots have come out and are strong enough to take on the world. They even have an army at their command. Thousands of years of hiding, making distractions, they created fronts, cover ups just to hind the truth of their existence. The Absconditus is the name they go by. That’s Latin for concealed. And they did a damn good job at being all concealed and stuff like that. Who knows how deep they’ve infiltrated politics, business or even the U.N. The Revelations- a clan of elite assassins that have been around centuries couldn’t even discover them early enough; although we had our suspicions. Now you see the Absconditus think that the cause of war is a difference in faith and beliefs so they want to turn the world into one religion, one government, and one culture...they want to take our bloody humanity away from us. Well judging by the way things are going now…that’s not so farfetched…”
After being assigned to hunt down and kill an international terrorist named Aabid Asadabad, a young Revelation code named ‘Shadow’ accidently uncovers a deadly conspiracy that led to the creation of a devastating biological weapon. With only a few friends he can rely on he is forced to fight this conspiracy but that will be hard since someone close to him is a part of it. The only weapons he has left are brutal skills in dealing death and the will power to see a new day but most importantly the one that started this nasty conflict…faith. If he wants this to end on a good note he’ll have to be in the shadow of this conspiracy, witness all of its horrors and try stop it. He will have to do what he does best…serve wickedness to the wicked…

I need help. Which Agent should I contact? This book is very rough and I'm not changing that, it has a vibe to it. Please E-mail me who you think should take a look see at this. It's protected so it can't be stolen...I am going to have to agree with the others. Have it looked at, you can keep your vibe, but it will just be a better, more pleasing vibe. Getting an agent is strenuous and delicate work. You wouldn't want one of us making a quick ill informed decision on something so important
Welcome back Hathor! I was wondering about you. Sounds like you were super busy. I wish I had your drive, I spent the same time, doing not much. Glad to see you back (you know what I mean )
