February is my month. I do a major query send out once a year. When that fails, it's back to editing, editors, beta readers and rewriting.
I have accumulated a list of around 30 agents. That's not a lot. I need at least 2o more to feel okay. I took an online publishing class where the agent/instructor reccomended at least 50 agents.
Last week, some agent on Twitter, said she was putting together a lecture on query letters and wanted examples. I expressed interest and sent my query to her. She wrote back saying she like it for the lecture and she would have it edited for me by the end of the week. Well,
haven't heard from her and I'm still waiting...
I'm almost done with my current editing process. I worked with one editor and two beta readers. I think it's improved my manuscript. I'm actually looking forward to this querying stage 2018. I've put a lot of work into these recent edits.
I also need to find new Comp. titles. The two I have now are not from literature. One is from a movie and the other from a TV show. I'm sure there are a lot of agents that don't like that. "It shows that I'm not well read in my genre."
Sending out Queries is like walking on the edge of a valcano.
