Two rejections and no new applications. But there is a good reason for this. At least, I think it’s a good reason.
It has been a year of blind querying agents and I have gotten no requests for more. I know that breaking in is tough. I’m not discouraged, but I am looking to get this done with. So I’ve been spending the last few weeks reading query letters and query letter advice. I think my second query letter is better than my first, but it has been as successful as the first. I’ve been looking at other options for making a third letter. I remember reading a crowd edited query letter site by the makers of manuscript wish list but I don’t seem to be able to find it.
I will also look for beta readers that I don’t know to get their impressions on the book, or at least the early chapters. So this is a reset button. I’ve learned a lot over the course of this, and I know the next letter will be better than the first.
Thank you for reading,
Michael
