I got a Bite!!!

Maprilynne · Feb 28, 2006

I have had an agent request a partial! It's my first one. It took over two months for that first one, but I finally have a query that doesn't suck (I'm kind of embarrassed by the first two I sent out) and someone wants to look at my stuff!!! Yea!!!!!

Indeed this is good news for you!
:Clap:

Make the copies the best you can--crisp, great white / bright paper or if it's an e-mail, brief and to the point without typos. And keep up the good work~

I just clicked send on my material. My hands are shaking. It's all in the agent's hands now.

Great news! Yup, now you know your query rates. Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

Maprilynne · Mar 5, 2006

I've had two more bites.

Now three out of my four responses have been requests for partials!

It is such a relief to know that I finally have a good query letter.
On Monday I will have three partials and 14 queries out. I'm on a role this week. Yea!!
