I've been turned down at the query, partial and full stage. And I got one offer and signed with the agent and we're getting ready to submit.
But I'm very insecure.
While I was subbing, 5 top agents (you know who they are) read the same manuscript from start to finish and they all turned it down (even after they knew I had an offer). Some gave no reason, some said it needed extensive revision. In one case, I got detailed revision notes with offer to resubmit. I also got turned down by 4 other top agents who read the partial.
My agent (who has a good track record of sales) doesn't think it needs extensive revision.
Is my agent probably wrong?
