I'm currently querying my contemporary YA novel entitled Fame Gamers.
I'm worried I made a huge mistake with the credits part (see below):
[FONT="]"My published memoir CONFESSIONS OF A SERIAL EGG DONOR has sold more than 1,500 copies, been discussed in national media and used as course material in Ivy League classrooms. In addition, I have published dozens of articles and reviews in newspapers and magazines, both locally and nationally. Last, I write health and fitness articles for Demand Studios[/FONT]."
My memoir is a SELF-published book, but I removed that in my new queries cuz I thought it would turn off agents. Now I realize, the way it's written, it may turn off agents as I state it's only sold "more than 1,500"--not very impressive, if it's NOT self-published. In future queries I will just remove the words about how many copies were sold and I won't have this problem.
However, I've already sent out 44 queries with this in it. Do you guys think agents will reject me because of it? Thanks for any help/input.
