When I sent out my queries I received one very interested 'send me your manuscript' (which sadly failed, but she was nice enough to explain what she liked and didn't like) and several non-responses. Yep, not even polite enough to say 'uninterested'. I'm hoping to nab that first agent I mentioned with my second book.<br />Good luck with getting an agent :DKirstiehttp://www.storybookperfect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829720626383125595.post-22321655865592970752012-06-15T18:07:41.176-04:002012-06-15T18:07:41.176-04:00Thanks, Julie, appreciate it.Thanks, Julie, appreciate it.Nancy Hinchliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720207101341835900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829720626383125595.post-81006618339080231522012-06-15T17:03:40.853-04:002012-06-15T17:03:40.853-04:00Congratulations on the positive responses, Nancy.Congratulations on the positive responses, Nancy.Julie Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810771028650707072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829720626383125595.post-54091015199967309732012-06-15T06:07:19.048-04:002012-06-15T06:07:19.048-04:00Cindy, Thanks so much for comments.
