Hi All!!

Hi all, I've completed my first novel last year. It is part of a three book series, I am halfway through writing number two and began the query process for finding a literary agent this past may and I have to say it is a bit daunting. I've queried A LOT of agents and had a ton of rejections and no replies....at what point do I give up on finding an agent? I mean how many rejections should I take before I really start to question my ability to write?

Thanks so much yeah I have revamped my query before my second round of agents I queried like 28 the first round and probably around that the second round and just did like 30 this round, I am just having a hard time believe my story premise wouldn't at least warrant a bite here and there, it helps to know that some people have had to query hundreds of agents because that is looking more and more like how this might go....

Griffen your book looks good I love post apocalyptic novels and movies I had a post apocalyptic idea for my next series!

Pandora I haven't been asked for any partial or fulls yet and that is the problem its a novel series based on reincarnation and built around the past lives and they are the best part, I just need them to READ past chapter 5 at least before they turn me down I feel if they would just READ it there wouldn't be any question they would know it was worthy....I have already decided im going to query my behind off until I have exhausted my well of agents to query, then if I still fail I will try publishers, if I still can't succeed I will look into self publishing as a last resort....im really sensitive so its hard to not get discouraged with each rejection but I am happy they haven't been mean about it I got one rejection from Kathleen Zakhar and it was really nice she praised my characters depth and how well the story flowed etc but she just didn't love the surmise enough I suppose but again I think if they read the whole thing they would love it....argh its hard
