NaNoQueMo

Well, since I made November my personal querying month, with a very modest goal of sending out just 5, I decided I'd better get started; the month's almost half gone. So a few minutes ago I hit "Send" on my first query - talk about SCARY! Took me 15 minutes to physically force myself to click that button. Whew.

I think I'm going to submit to Avalon too - seems like a good fit for my ms - but that means I have to write a synopsis (uh-oh!). Off to do some more reading on how to do it right.

ONWARD!

I can't believe it ... I'm so proud, I've just become a writer ... I just got my first rejection! Maybe I'm just weird, but I've been looking forward to that first "no."

Jennifer, I would try agentquery.com or querytracker.net. In either one, you can enter your genre and it will return lists of agents with their contact information, links to their submission guidelines, etc. I am more familiar with querytracker, and I know it has links to various resources where you can check the agents' credentials before querying, and you also can keep track of who you queried and when, stuff like that.

queeny, I will be querying Knight Agency too. Glad to hear you got such a quick response. There is something exciting about that first rejection, isn't there?

Thanks, everyone, for the encouragement. I've now sent 4. Still dragging my feet on that synopsis, though...
