A Sudden Surge

Hey friends. For some reason, I got the gumption to send out a whole mess of query letters. Here's who got 'em:

- Sheldon Fogelman Agency Inc.
- Gina Macoby Literary Agency
- Nancy Gallt
- Curtis Brown Ltd. (Marilyn E. Marlow)
- Steling Lord Literistic Inc.
- Charlotte Sheedy Literary Agency
- Harold Ober Associates Inc. (Claire M. Smith)
- Gotham Art & Literary Agency Inc. (Anne Elisabeth Suter)
- Kirchoff / Wohlberg Inc. (Liza Pulitzer Voges)
- Sheldon Fogelman Agency Inc. (Marcia Wernick)

These are the last of the people that a certain agent lady said I should send my info to. So far, none of the contacts she's provided have panned out, but who knows? These might get somewhere.

Also, today, I'm sending out a query to:

- Antheneum Books for Young Readers

And I sent an e-mail query to:

- Bollix Books

I also got a rejection letter yesterday (big surprise!) from Dijkstra Literary Agency. It went a little something like this:

Dear Author,

We appreciated you recent letter of inquiry informing us of you project.

We regret to say that it does not appear to be right for our list. As you know, thse decisions are largely subjective and another agent or editor may have an opinion completely different from ours.

You may wish to consult one fo the several guides to literary agents, editors, and publishers in your search for a compatible agent. We recommend The Literary Marketplace and The Writer's Market.

Thank you for inviting us to read your work. We wish you great success!

Sincerely,

Agent Person

So great. At least I'm getting some sort of correspondence. Right? Sure...
