I'm shopping my fantasy novel around to agents now. I've gotten a couple requests for the full manuscript, both ultimately rejections. Many of the responses I've gotten are of the "not enthusiastic enough" variety. I'd revise the book if I had a handle on what to fix, what to change. "Not excited enough about the book/premise/characters" doesn't give me anything to go on, though. <img border=0 src="http://www.absolutewrite.com/images/EmoteShrug.gif" />
But the novel is 115,000 words long, somewhere between 450 to 500 pages in Courier 12. Would the length alone be enough to get it rejected?
I'd rather not revise it at all. It's finished. I'm happy with it. And I'm busy writing the sequel now as well as outlining some mystery novels.
