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. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

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. 😉 #WritingCommunity #amquerying

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! 🤓🤣 #amquerying

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.

@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.

@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!! 😑
