First partial request

Apr 14, 2009 18:34

Happy day! First request for pages from my new query on the rewritten suspense novel, Deadworld. Seven or eight rejections so far and now one request. If I maintain that ratio over the 100 agents on my list, I'll be pleased. The request was for 100 pages. I'm hoping it actually all gets read. I've had requests before for a large chunk of pages only ( Read more... )

suspense, queries, agents, partials

Hi, Jim ( ... )

Thanks, Marc! Very cool that it has helped. It's been rather interesting (in a good way) that this contest turned more into a query editing exercise than was planned for. It seems to have helped all who got there's posted. I realized that my attempt at doing something different for a query didn't come across very well or the way in which I did it was not good enough. Mine was the one with the character actually speaking about the story. I've since gone back to using my more standard query.

I wish you lots of luck with your story. I actually thought it sounded good, but playing pretend agent I wasn't sure it had a big enough market to request. Hopefully I'm wrong on that one. Thanks again for the post.

Jim
