And the next one...

Fresh from my in-box...
 

Many thanks for your letter of inquiry.  I'm sorry to say that your book just doesn't sound right for me.  As I am sure you understand I have a fairly large number of submissions coming in each week so I cannot look at all of them.  Perhaps another agent will have more enthusiasm for your idea.  Do keep up the hard work of submitting, as you never know where you'll make the connection that makes your book happen.

Best of luck,
Assistant to JG


I will try, try again in the new year. Although thinking of exploring the world of e-books... becoming more and more intrigued by the possibilities. 

And the first one has arrived...

I heard back today from the Bent Agency today...


Dear Heather,

Thanks so much for being in touch. I’m flattered that you thought of
me for this, but it just didn’t quite strike a chord. I do admire the
quality of the writing and the execution and I’m sorry it wasn’t a fit
for me.

Very best,
Jenny

The Bent Agency


I do appreciate the promptness and kind way this was executed. And doesn't make me feel like it's a form letter (even if it is). 

Well, here's the first for the blog. Must get my butt in gear to send out the next query.
