Your story is a lot like mine - I got a lot of rejections, not very many requests, and exactly one offer. But that one offer is the only one that matters! So, so happy for you.

It can be a little nerve racking to wonder why you haven't gotten an agent when others have, but knowing it's still possible helps, so yeah, glad you did the post.<br /><br />Because I'm nearing the end of a first draft, about to embark on a revision of another story and have another story banging against my temple to be let out, I haven't hopped on the query trail yet, but I hope to soon.<br /><br />Again, I'm extra thrilled you received your arrow and Cupid has made your connection. I see it as early payment for your "pay it forward" attitude for putting together this blogfest. :-)Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016505486794178553.post-27616520362340032582012-06-15T08:28:41.865-04:002012-06-15T08:28:41.865-04:00I am so excited for you!

Still, she was awesome and sent a very nice rejection telling me to keep working on it (but she loved the concept). I've been going back and forth with whether I should re-query her with my new version (it's been over a year and it's had a TON of revisions.) Still haven't decided. Even if I don't I still think she's awesome, so congrats!! and good luck with the next step in publishing!Stacey Trombleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093836904596108872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016505486794178553.post-25106822753600904892012-06-14T17:33:50.315-04:002012-06-14T17:33:50.315-04:00Congratulations!!!
