I just got a rejection on a query I had already marked as “no response.” Never give up. Those rejections will find you through time and space! 🤣

Got a rejection from an agent whose wish list matched so many elements in my book. She was complimentary,but said she didn’t have a clear editorial vision for it. Does that mean she can’t think of an editor to send it to? Has anyone ever pushed back on a rejection?
#amquerying
This is what rejections feel like after two years of querying: I’m sorry you thought this MS was anywhere close to what I was looking for…hope your novel finds a home, but it probably never, ever,ever will. Best, Agent X.

Querying my

Midwestern gothic. Got the first rejection from an agent whose MSWL aligned w/ the book perfectly! Why is
#amquerying
so sad and difficult??? 🧐☹️
When this is the rejection: “Thanks for the chance to consider your work. It’s very engaging, but I don’t feel I’m the right agent currently.” Anyone else want to ask WHO the right agent is? Just tell me and we can all save some time. 😉

I got an agent rejection for a query I sent in May. Then, two hours later, I got a second rejection from her for the same query. It is mathematically and scientifically true that two negatives = a positive. I’ll send the full right away! 🤓🤣

When they say “never give up,” listen. In the past two weeks, I’ve received two rejects from queries I had already labeled “no response.” I gave up, but someone’s still looking, maybe right now…

! It didn’t show on my notifications???? Thanks to everyone for your retweets ands comments!!
Two important questions:
1. Does anyone else w a day job think about writing/querying all day and then just collapse with Netflix when the time comes?
2. Does anyone else wonder every night, “should I wash my hair?”
#WritingCommunity
The comment about editorial vision was a new one for me. Haven’t seen that in the 70 rejections I’ve gotten on two projects. It’s usually “not the right fit” line.
This isn’t anything an agent has ever said to me! All of my rejections have been kind and gracious. The one doing the nasty talk is my own self -esteem!!!

and I go from loving my MS and query to doubting everything about it. I just want to submit it and stop overthinking! Good luck to everyone!
I’ve seen so many friends who I’ve watched over the past couple of years tweet their ⭐️agent⭐️post in the past few weeks! It is so exciting to watch another person’s journey! It makes me hopeful that I will tweet my own good news one day.
In the summer of 1985, a family is haunted by a legendary creature. Sisters Daphne and Charlotte dare to explore the dark places of their farm to find it, but are they brave enough to uncover the hidden, shadowy hearts of their family?

I and so grateful for these posts. I was feeling very alone with my multiple form rejections and hyper focusing on the tweets about “another full request!” Now I know I’m in very good company.
I got a full request. First batch of queries. 😍 I am glad I entered

I started querying my YA monster book again. I cannot let it go. It’s been about 6 mos since I submitted. But with some edits and focused comps, I feel like it has a chance. Strangely enough, yesterday I got a rejection from a query I sent out 10 mos. Ago! Form rejection. Thanks?
@BeecroftKara
I was not overly impressed…a lot of it feels dated and not just because of new technologies for writing. For me the audience was definitely white men. I think it should be revised and re-released to factor in writers of all genders, races, and socio-economic levels.
Just got two amazing emails - an acceptance to a writers’ retreat and an interview. Patience pays off. Hope never fails. Faith works. ❤️

I just read an agent’s lament for turning down a Book that I just read. I also just got a rejection from this agent for a MS with the same qualities. Part of me wants to quit. The other part of me wants to be another regret for the agent. Shoulda picked me up.
#amquerying
My daughter just did a tarot reading for me and says that success in my writing and representation is imminent. Just putting that out in the universe. Making sure all the agents know that too! 😉

@TaylorLGrothe
I read another blog post by this agent that was not professional. (That’s the crux of the issue here, Ithink) Now every time I see the agency name I cringe inside. I don’t need outside voices to tell me I’m no good. My inside voices take care of that quite well!! 😑
The number of books you read in one month isn’t important unless you’re trying to get a free pan pizza. Don’t compete. Just read when and how you want!

Woke up with the words “an octopus named Three Bags Full” in my brain. Have now written 4 stanzas of a rhyming poem. That’s new.

It was in my school library and I checked it out over and over. I fell in love with the place and the people. I read it again as an adult and the magic was the same. That’s what I love most.
