Hi, I've done some posting on the SYW earlier in the summer. I spent the summer rewriting my book and rewriting my query letter. With the new format I received a full request from an agent - my first and I was so excited but also tried to be very grounded and realistic.
I've just now heard back from the agent and they're not interested. Some very nice comments were made about my writing and some critiques. My first instinct is to go in and make changes based on one agent's critiques. Clearly this agent will no longer be interested as they didn't suggest I make those changes, they just said no thanks.
So, what's the norm here? Do I rush to make those changes based on one person's feedback or do I keep plugging away looking for someone else?
