One up, a few down. I didn’t get any rejections in the last few weeks, but I decided to go through my list and assume I got a no from everyone more than four months old. I mean, if they wanted me, they wouldn’t need nine months to make up their mind. Maybe doing thatContinue reading “The Quest #25”

None up, none back. I’ve got to go through and clean out anyone I queried six months ago or more. I think the ones I did with my old query letters are definitely rejections. I will be doing a new revision on the book I am querying. I think I can do a chapter aContinue reading “The Quest #24”

Already got back a rejection for the kids book. So that was a surprise. Imagine a world where all agents were prompt. I’m up one in the main quest. I’ve made some posts here and there. Short form, long form. Thanks to the metrics I know that no one clicked on them. I’ve got toContinue reading “The Quest #23”

None up, none down. I eliminated some of the no answers, so I consider those passes. I sent my first two queries for the children’s book I wrote for my nephew. Maybe I will find an agent that way. Sneaky. This week a friend and I made up a Tiktok account to try and getContinue reading “The Quest #22”

One in and one rejected. So be it. Still haven’t reached out for a children’s book agent, but that’s locked and loaded. So far this year I have written a thousand words each weekday. A friend of mine has begun to query and has been sending me some agents that she comes across. Nice toContinue reading “The Quest # 20”

Well, I’m down one but I’m not surprised. I queried with the previous letter that I wasn’t happy with. I have yet to Query this year. I’ve been networking and seeing who I can talk with in my area. My mom found someone who knows some writers, so I’m hoping I can get some goodContinue reading “The Quest #19”

Numbers. Up one. I feel more confident with my reworked query letter. A friend of mine recently read through the book I am querying and gave me notes. I will be turning the notes into an improved book over the coming week. That means that my book is going from draft 3.55 to draft 4.Continue reading “The Quest #18”

Posts have been wonky with Thanksgiving, but should be back to normal going forward. I over ate and lost a bowling competition, despite bowling a Turkey in the warm up round. I have one new query using my new query letter. Let’s hope it works out. I feel it is stronger now. I workshopped itContinue reading “The Quest # 17”
