Hey, guys!
I'm a super newb. I've never blogged or joined anything like this before so I'll take any and all advice.
A little bit about myself: I write YA novels and fantasy. I've had one of my manuscripts looked at by an editor and have shared my ideas with my sister, my husband, and my friend. All responses were positive so I started trying to get published almost three years ago. I have yet to succeed. Every few months I change my query letter, revise my manuscript, and try again but I'm obviously doing something wrong. In yet another polite rejection letter from an agent, this website was mentioned. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about putting my work out there but I think that's my problem. So here I am, trying something new! I don't have much experience in reading other people's work so I don't know how helpful I'll be in critiquing. But I do read a lot. Who knows? Maybe I'll do someone some good. Looking forward to learning from you guys!
