@rrreadsbooks I got this exact response from a British agent. I had another book ready to go but she is closed to submissions so I couldn’t submit to her, what should I do???

pretty please, if you get an offer from another agent, let the rest of us know! 🥲 recently, many of my “maybes” / “next ups” have been unexpectedly pulled after accepting offers - offering agents should always allow at least 2 weeks to consider and decide

When writing in multiple points of view, never underestimate the power of a colour-coded spreadsheet. 👀

@MariaS_Cara That’s such an inspiring attitude. Turning a rejection into motivation is exactly what keeps writers going. Do you have your querying letter ready along with your manuscript? If so, follow me. I know an agent who specializes in your genre

I’m speechless! My dream agent from 1 of the top 3 #literaryagents in the UK. Yes, it’s a rejection but one that will spur me on while I’m in the #amquerying trenches!!! I hope someone picks my book up soon -the full is with 2 big-name (dream) agents!!! #questpit #AmEditing

@DearS_o_n I remember saving small goals in a notebook back in school because I was scared I would forget what I wanted. One day a teacher found it and told me to keep going even if no one else cared. That hype stuck with me and still pushes me.

@DearS_o_n The people that will doubt your biggest, brightest idea: 1. Friends 2. Coworkers 3. Parents 4. Close Family 5. Teachers Don’t listen to their negativity (unless it REALLY is justified). Ask a stranger, they’ll be honest and tell you their thoughts. Close people will envy.

@KurtisMWothe @hollyjb_48 Yes! This is what I do too! Also Holly remember it’s all about timing - it might not be the book that’s not working but rather that you haven’t got lucky with timing!

@hollyjb_48 I’m trying to figure it out as a well. After talking to a published friend of mine, I’m aiming for 100 queries sent out no matter how painful this process is. Then I’ll reevaluate

At what point do you stop querying? Or know if a book isn’t working in the trenches? Genuinely don’t think my mental health can take much more. I always start out so optimistic. It’s soul-destroying🫠 #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Query rejections like this don’t feel like rejections at all. So lovely to hear 🩷

@Michelle4Laughs As an author who would love to work with you, I’d rather wait 4 months to have an answer and have a chance to work with you rather than not at all.

Nobody will see this, but here goes. Thinking of opening to queries, but it could take up to four months for me to respond. Especially to queries that come in toward the end of the week in which I open. Should I open or is that wait too long for authors?
