You have to keep fighting by sending out more queries or writing that next book.Jeanne Ryan (Serenissima)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10482350542840188974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740020593647189165.post-71459954533374047952011-05-17T11:20:07.895-04:002011-05-17T11:20:07.895-04:00Trisha--I agree that it's so important not to ...Trisha--I agree that it's so important not to get defensive around feedback. Constructive criticism almost always makes the book better.<br /><br />Steph--I think of it more as good timing combined w/ the devotion part. You never know which agent might want something at any given time.<br /><br />Matthew--Good for you! The learning process of querying is a whole post (or ten) in itself. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255908019822363456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740020593647189165.post-73748873827934642612011-05-17T11:14:07.692-04:002011-05-17T11:14:07.692-04:00I'm pretty sure I queried at least 60 last yea...I'm pretty sure I queried at least 60 last year before I knew what I was doing.
