I've just started. Queried 8, 1 of whom has been out for about 6 weeks so I am assuming is just a no responder, and two form rejections. It's a bummer for sure. Trying not to let it get me down, but after hearing from two seperate crit groups how much they loved the book, and to not even get a request for a partial, I am not feeling too great about it.

Ah! Just tabbed up all my rejections from the past three years of querying six books;
Total: 586
That's counting non-responders.

And look at you now! Book coming out and it's got an awesome agent representing it. I love your determination and persistence, I can only hope I'll be that driven.

This is the first piece I've queried. So far, I've received 6 rejects with one partial. I have two NRs from July, so I closed those on QT. I currently have 5 out with no replies.

I'm at around 120 for my women's fic, and when I broke out the YA portion of it last year, I reached around 65. This is rejections on queries, rejections on requested partials and fulls, a couple of R&Rs and a whole slew of non-responses.
I'm no longer flogging the hell out of it, but once in a while I send out a query just for shits & giggles.
