I mailed off about 18 query letters to agents on July 7 & 8; plus one was an e-mail query. Well the e-mail query immediately asked for chapter one but rejected it -- not enthused about it.
I went to my mailbox last week and there were 4 return envelopes -- all rejections.
Saturday I went again -- one rejection and one agent wanting to read the entire manuscript.
I mailed her (well actually my mom did) the manuscript today. She said it would take her anywhere from 2 - 4 months to respond. So keep me in your prayers that my endeavors are blessed. I finished E. Lynn Harris' memoirs today and when I got to his part about making the decision to write and how GOD worked everything out for him; I felt like he spoke to me.
I'll start working on book 2 after I come back from my class reunion in 2 weeks.
Thanks once again, LadyGreek, for reading the manusctript and editing it for me. Also thanks to LovelyIvy for reading my query letter and liking it.
