I may have jumped the gun on this, but I'm at 2/6 rejections. One was a form rejection from a dream agent (stung), and another was a highly personalized rejection that gave great insight into specifics.
The personalized rejection basically said my work is not ready, that there was too much backstory in the first 10 pages.
I had worried about this issue before, and had asked my 2 beta readers what they thought of the intro. They both thought the beginning was fine in that it was fast-paced, informative, and hooked the reader.
I know all agents are subjective, but at what point do you seriously consider revising your pages?
