Total Queries: 73Total Rejections: 35 The title is correct! I am actually researching and writing a book. I veered away from Book 2 for a moment, because I got hit with an idea for a new book. I am still trying to fully think through the concept, but I am very excited about the general […]
Total Queries: 73Total Rejections: 28 I officially stopped querying on November 5th. My heart flutters writing that. I was a few queries shy of my 75 query goal, but I am very pleased. Immense research went into the process and can truly say I only queried a few Literary Agents that didn’t explicitly say they […]
Total Queries: 67Total Rejections: 26 I’ve been busy querying over the last two weeks. I also participated in a Twitter pitch party (#pitDark). Not sure the 8 pitches (1 per hour) actually helped. I also worry the few people who follow me thought I went crazy. Well, I am doing what I can to get […]
Total Queries: 47Total Rejections: 18 I want to write. It really can’t get more simple than that. Why am I not writing? Great question, but will my answer be sufficient?

So far, all the responses have been form letters, mostly with a kind but firm no. Others have a less fluffy and more direct no. Either way, […]
Total Queries: 30Total Rejections: 6 After a month hiatus from querying, I am settling into a routine. Each day I work, help the kids with school, query, and a few other happy endeavors. I am a creature of habit, so organizing my days feels right. I queried six literary agents this week and found a […]
Total Queries: 24Total Rejections: 4 Nothing like work and the kids’ school starting back up to stop everything else in its tracks. I am sorry to report that I have not queried any agents in the last two weeks. This makes me upset, but there is no changing it. I have to figure out a […]
Total Queries: 18Total Rejections: 3 As I sit here querying, I hear Dory’s words “just keep swimming, just keep swimming” over and over in my head. It would be annoying if it wasn’t so cute. I am working my way through the agent list I made months ago. I have been updating as I go […]
Total Queries: 14Total Rejections: 3 On an incredibly positive note, I finished a short synopsis for my book and sent queries to three agents who requested it in their guidelines. YAY! Lets just take a moment to be happy. — So nice, isn’t it! Ok, back to reality. I have also been busy rewriting my […]
