First, I am not complaining, but still.....
Sent out queries on 61k mystery/thriller. An agent e-mails back for a 5-page partial, then politely rejects it a week later. Three days after that, a second agent responds and asks for a 20-30 page partial w/detail synopsis. And mixed in the middle of all of that is three more rejections from other agents.
Again, I am thrilled to get interest from two agents, but this up and down and up and down is killing my nerves.
Is this normal? Do I need to take up some serious drinking while I wait to hear from the second agent?
