I have gotten a lot of rejection letters and the 2 that wanted to read more of my book turned it down. The one agency told me that they considered my book more of a middle grade fiction book, so that is where I have gone wrong. I have switched gears and started sending letters to other types of agencies. Wish me luck!
I have been busy with writing and sending letters through both email and postal mail. I have gotten the interest of 2 publishers at the moment that requested part of my manuscript. I've gotten 7 out of 13 "nos" so far but I have started with New York agencies first. If I get turned down by all I try in New York then I will try California and then all other parts of the country to find an agent. I figured I would start at the top of the list with the big agents and go down the list until one accepts my work. Its been a challenge but I am determined not to give up. I started on a sequel novel that goes along with the first novel but can be understood without reading the first book.
