Been a while since I wandered these places, but I return with a question specifically for agents.
I've submitted by first WIP - a historical YA back in 2012 - and I did get a request for a partial and 6 very detailed refusals from agents who were very kind in their comments. Sent it to over 80+ agents. Feedback from those agents was very encouraging, and it had mostly due with the fact that in my desire to be authentic, I went way overboard with the historical authenticity and torpedoed my chances of getting it published because it was more fit to be published in Shakespeare's time than in the 21st century. (think stilted dialogue & all)
It's been quite some time since then, and my question is, can I resubmit the same work?
Is that considered acceptable or a no-no?
Obviously with the proper editing, making it easy on the eye and not a reimagining of the Macbeth play.
