And querying? Hmm, well, my advic...Great excerpt! And querying? Hmm, well, my advice is, if you truly think you're ready to start, go ahead, but do it very slow. Don't query your favorite agents at first. Wait to see what your feedback is: rejections & requests. Then tweak your query accordingly. Same goes for your ms. After your requests come back, revise if you're not getting the response you want. Even while I was querying, I still had betas and CPs reading my ms. So it just kept on getting better, until I hit the jackpot. It's a process, and often a slow one, maybe up to a year or even longer. Just don't burn through your agents-to-query list too quickly. Go slow. Take it from someone who made all those rookie mistakes in the beginning.Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016505486794178553.post-75077195938164159132012-03-13T12:02:42.273-04:002012-03-13T12:02:42.273-04:00*Intriguing* I mean... sorry I'm a perfectioni...*Intriguing* I mean... sorry I'm a perfectionist editor myself!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016505486794178553.post-42492989766062067362012-03-13T12:01:13.871-04:002012-03-13T12:01:13.871-04:00Kudos for taking the plunge into submissions.

I can't wait to meet you in person!<br /><br />As for querying...I've never done it yet. You'll have to let me know how it goes. But it sounds to me like you're ready. It looks like you've thought through your MS front to back, back to front, inside-out, and upside down. :-) Good luck with querying!!!Kathryn Purdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337488365098780737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016505486794178553.post-66927512606581732232012-03-13T10:38:12.555-04:002012-03-13T10:38:12.555-04:00Congrats on being in Elana's group!!

Thanks for passing on the love :)<br /><br />I'm a couple revising rounds behind you. Only one beta has read it so far (but she finished in less than 24 hours from when i gave it to her, so at least she liked it!) but I have a lot of reworking to do on a few parts before I pass it out for round two! I have an agent conference in June, so I hope I can be ready by then!!!Kristin Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169967050454852124noreply@blogger.com
