Audrey’s Promise (Contemporary Romance)
Queries Sent: 10 (and 2 contest entries) to mostly agencies
Rejections: 5 (all form letters)
Partial Requests: 1 (Synopsis sent to agent, and since rejected)
Full Requests: 2 (both from Publishers, still pending)
I’m doing it the smart way. I send out 3-4 at a time and wait for responses. If I need to tweak my query letter or pitch, I do (with the help of great friends!) and submit to 4 or 5 more. If I don’t get nibbles, then I know I need to revamp the letter again. Querytracker.net is a great place to help me keep track of all this. As well as the ones I want to query, but need to wait or do more research. Meanwhile, I keep entering contests online. We’ll see where this goes!
