most EVER partials/fulls without an offer?

I've had seven or eight fulls out on my current. The last agent requested revisions and I ended up overhauling the book. I hope the overhaul will help.

It's a good question, though -- after how many rejections should a writer consider there man be an issue with his manuscript? If you are getting requests it shows the concept is good and your query is working.

Have you heard back from all 8 already or are you in limbo?

I've got 8 full and 12 partial rejections on the work currently on submission. I've also got 7 partials/fulls outstanding.

What keeps me going is the fact that the one editor I've subbed to has requested revisions twice. Still working on the second set.............

(oh and my confidence has officially waned)

Well...could mean that your query is super and the book ....not so super?

No idea.......but bet it is driving you nuts...it would me.

My first novel (this was six years ago when I knew nothing about the industry), I sent 10 queries, got 7 full requests, followed by 7 very nice, encouraging rejections. I gave up. Don't do that.
