I just received my 4th rejection from my first round of queries for LAST FLIGHT OF THE MIDNIGHT ECLIPSE. I sent out 5, but the 5th agent said they won't reply if it's a no, so it's about time to get the next round out. Hoe the long row! #querying #WritingCommunity

It's been a while since I talked about my #rejectioncollection Somewhere along the way, I embraced the idea of gamifying the submission/query process by trying to collect as many rejections as possible. Goal for MIDNIGHT ECLIPSE: 100 rejections #WritingCommunity #querying

An interesting thread! For me, C. I prefer not to leave a review if I didn't like it, especially if it only has a few reviews. I wouldn't say anything to the author unless they asked directly, in which case, I would bite the bullet and be tactfully honest. #WritingCommunity

I'm really sad about the implication that postcards are a thing of the past. Is it true that only olds send postcards these days? Sigh.

Another submission sent for this round of queries! 💪 I'm planning on a cadence of sending to 5-7 agents each month. How are others breaking it down? #querying #WritingCommunity

If an #agent says they don't respond if it's a no, how long do you wait before taking their silence as a confirmed rejection? 3 months? More? #querying #WritingCommunity

I have defined a 4th category of fun. Thoughts?

Up to 19 rejections for my query. No requests for partials or anything personalized, so I'm revising my package. Onwards! #querying #rejectioncollection

I want my doctor to think I'm normal. Anyone else? 🤷

I got my first rejection since revising my query package! I really should brush off my #rejectioncollection and figure out what number this is. Aiming for 100 at a minimum for this manuscript. #WritingCommunity

Authors, we all have this mug, right? Or... just me? And, yes, I've done this on paper, of course. 😅

I got my first partial request! It resulted, subsequently, in rejection. BUT it's a huge deal to have crossed that threshold and to have my materials validated in this manner. Onwards! #querying #rejectioncollection

Good things take time writers. My book sale journey: 2016 - 1 book available - 40 paid book sales 2024 - 8 books available - 700+ paid book sales Keep going 👍

Latest count of query rejections is 27. Goal: 100. Just started a new round with my last revision of query materials. #querying
