Keep Moving On

I am developing a pretty good marketing strategy, if I do say so myself. Then I will be submitting it off with all the requested items to the agent. Yippee. Hopefully this will work out!

Worried

I have been told to submit my bio, a one-page synopsis, and marketing statement. The marketing statement is a first. Oh, and the first fifty pages of my book. Kinda nervous because I have been told that my book is too long. The word count was in the query and they want to see more anyways. Not sure what to do.

The Word No

I am really impressed by some agents. They can make the word no sound really nice. It makes you see the difference between someone who likes their job and who really doesn't seem to. Getting rude or badly worded rejections just make you feel like crap. If you can be nice, do it. It's usually the little things people do in life that makes the biggest difference and most of the time they never know.

Waiting and Waiting

I have submitted a few more queries and just waiting on replies. I am worried that I want this too much. But I have wanted to be an author since I was a kid. I have always loved reading. Nothing was better to be as a kid than getting lost in a good book. I will never forget the time I was talking to my dad about a book I was reading at about. I was about eight or nine and instead of saying the main characters did something, I said 'we'. My dad laughed and said I was really into it. I want to do that for people.

Another Query

So, I submitted another query letter yesterday. Because of all the rejections, I have really been considering developing another query letter. It's a good thing I am confident in my book and in my story.

Yes I Can

I am moving forward despite the responses from the agents. I will continue to send out my query in hope someone will see it and like it. I will also hope that maybe someone will read this and my other posts that can give me some hints on what to do. I have submitted my work for copyright and officially decided to call my work

Query Letters

I have finished my first novel and am searching for an agent. Everything you find on the internet is so contradictory about submitting and writing a query letter. They also suggest a synopsis and outline. Isn't that all really the same information over and over in different formats shoved down the agents throats at once?
I am just frustrated and tired. It's hard to hear no so much and still keep trying. But screw that, I am NOT the type to give up!!
