Rejection and Addiction (to a good book, that is)

[sboman]

Rejection from Stefanie von Borstel after reading the partial.  She said she liked the concept, but felt it needed to be geared more toward teenagers.

This is classic.  In college when I wrote the short story that became Ada, my creative writing class asked if it was written for children.  Here I was trying to write something that I thought was on

Hey -- I'm looking for a YA crit group, too, and having no luck. Should we form one? I'm in the same spot -- some fulls out, but ultimately no bites. It's so frustrating, because the only reader I have is my husband, and he's never ever been a teen girl, and he doesn't read a lot. ;-)

I'd be interested. Where are you physically (not talking body shape :)?

That's just one person's take on it, maybe another will feel it's perfectly geared toward teens. So don't give up! There's obviously something to the story if you've stuck with it. And thank you for the kind words about my novel. My apologies for keeping you up late reading. (She says, with an evil heh heh heh.)
