And yes, I discovered the same thing about queries: I got 2 full requests from the query that everyone told me wasn't good enough. So there.

Super excited for you. I have my fingers crossed that you will get requests right away. <br /><br />I love when we obsess over something, like your redundancy in your letter, and it effects our productivity for the day. Such a writer quality. And your phrasing was probably better than 99.9% of the ones they even get. That's the other thing we do - worry over small stuff that no one else really notices. <br /><br />Good luck!Jennie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088195986628533511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897238162318789476.post-29602601344004000562011-01-11T11:51:10.283-05:002011-01-11T11:51:10.283-05:00I'm so glad your revised query letter got you ...I'm so glad your revised query letter got you a request (even if you didn't think it was perfect).

I mean, I'm already unpublished so what's the worst that could happen. They unpublish me some more? ;o)B.E.

How good to learn that, despite one little mistake in the query, your submission wasn't zapped, but instead sparked enough interest for the agent to request more pages. All those dire warnings (which are justified, I know) that the query is an agent's first introduction to your writing can scare the pants off a good writer. Keep us posted on your agent's follow-up responses.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897238162318789476.post-41922436103574286092011-01-10T19:33:03.972-05:002011-01-10T19:33:03.972-05:00OH!!!
