Very cool, all. This beats the acceptance I received from the Writers Literary Agency, and kind of validates my proposals, after reading about WL Agency....

Congrats, Phantom!

And wow....it looks like Jessica is still working hard on her vacation!

Phantom Writer · Oct 13, 2009

Thanks EJ- my fingers are still crossed for SJF though. Silly huh? I'm still loooking over the contract, no woo-hoo yet- but I'll keep everyone updated!

Got a request for a full on my transgender romance novel today from Ms. Jessica Sinsheimer. Will keep you all updated on the outcome.
In the meantime, I thought I share some of my research on this agency.

Congrats Nicole! She really is working through her vaca isn't she?

Moost · Oct 14, 2009

She hasn't responded to my email asking if she'd like to see my revised manuscript- sent last week. I thought it was a long shot since next Thursday is the two month mark. But I wanted to try anyway since the bulk of the revisions are in the last three chapters.

Phantom Writer · Oct 14, 2009

Moost you are already at the 2 month mark?? It doesn't seem like it's been that long!! Ok, maybe for us it doesn't, but for you i'm sure it does.

Moost · Oct 15, 2009

Hehe no next week is the two month mark. Sigh...a sense a reject coming in.

JamieB · Oct 15, 2009

Waiting on a query from 10/6. Seems like others have gotten responses from around that time...hmmm...anyone else still waiting for a query response from 10/6 or earlier?

Phantom Writer · Oct 15, 2009

Don't think like that! Positive! Stay positive!

Haha I'm trying...but I just got my first full reject. Sigh. Sucked just as much as I thought it would, but since she didn't give any feedback I'm in that "my book sucks" black hole. ETA: First reject was not from Jessica. Still waiting on her!

Phantom Writer · Oct 16, 2009

sorry to hear about the r moost! Yes, that first reject on a full stinks. I can understand- just hang in there. You will hear from SJF shortly and it'll be a yes!

(THe power of positive thinking) **sends good vibes your way**

Thanks Phantom and congrats on your offer! I'm sure I'll be hearing something this week- good luck to everyone else waiting on fulls!

I haven't heard anything on my query of 9/30. So we're in the same boat.

Moost · Oct 20, 2009

Anyone hear anything this week?

Phantom Writer · Oct 20, 2009

Got my "R" a few minutes ago guys! Fingers crossed for everyone else!

Oh no!! I'm so sorry.

I'm expecting mine any day now...

Moost · Oct 20, 2009

Sorry Phantom! I guess she really does read backwards then. Huh.

Phantom Writer · Oct 20, 2009

I'm not sure about that Moost. I sent an email to her letting her know I did have another offer from a publisher, but wanted to give them to time to review it first. Her "r" was nice, but from what others have posted on query tracker, it was form. Good luck!

Forgot to add- she has been very professional and quick to respond in her emails. Hopefully someone on here will get a yes from her, even though I have an "R", it was nice dealing with her!

Meh. I don't want another full form R lol. Best of luck with your offer though!!

I'm glad to hear it was a nice R and that she got back to you quickly (since she just got back from vacation).

I am seriously going to be sooooooooooooooo sad when I get my R from her. She was so nice in her email correspondence, and from her blog she sounds like she would be so amazing to work with. We even had a small chat today in her comments on her blog. I just love her personality! Anyone who snags her is going to be one lucky author!

socact · Oct 20, 2009

I'm still waiting on a full - it does look like she's going in a weird order. I submitted mine in mid-September. I've had so many rejections that I'm already anticipating this one, perhaps with a bit less sting. Well, they all sting. Especially the R's on fulls.

Good luck to everyone to still waiting!

Phantom Writer · Oct 20, 2009

Yes my fingers are crossed for all of you still out there! Hopefully everyone will hear back this week since we all went out around the same time. She did update her blog today though if you haven't checked it out yet.

Mia Moore · Oct 21, 2009

I can't seem to locate that blog. I'd love to read it. Can you direct me or provide a link? Thanks!
