[livejournal.com profile] anyabast, you posted somewhere in response to me, and mindless girl (yours truly) deleted lj's notification message in gmail quite by mistake. Can you point me in the right direction?

Meanwhile...

Rachel Vater sent me a very courteous not interested. That was fast! She did help me to find a mistake in my submission process: she thought the story was high fantasy, which she's not interested in. Now my query includes the words "contemporary fantasy" to avoid future confusion.

Just sent a query off to Kristen Nelson of Nelson Literary Agency in Denver. If this rate of return keeps up, I should get my rejection from her before the week's out. :P

Here's my favorite nice thing from Rachel's letter. I think it's good enough to be encouraging to all you fledlings out there!

Just because a project isn’t quite right for me doesn’t mean the right agent isn’t just around the corner. I wish you the best of luck with all your writing endeavors and in the querying and submission process. Persistence pays off, so don’t give up!

Agents are nice people, aren't they?

Don't give up out there, guys!!!
