Another One Down!

[cathschaffstump]

Received rejection from Kristen Nelson of the Nelson Agency. That's 3. Two requests for partial.

Next up: Maya Rock of Writer's House. Maya is very well affiliated, even if she's not in AAR yet. However, most of the agents she works with are, and I'm convinced it's a matter of time for her.

More about Maya here:

Just gotta keep going! It stings, and I can sure see why people quit. Rejection is no fun as a lifestyle, is it? :D

ya...the sting sucks, but we don't quit or it would win!!!!!!!

[cathschaffstump.livejournal.com]

We don't quit because we won't become published authors if we do... ;)

PS--Why don't you try small publishing houses where you can submit directly to the editor?

I'm looking for an agent first, if I can get one. That's my plan. ;)

This is a little embarrassing, because I sure don't know if you've already checked this blogging agent out, but he has a wonderful blog, if you'd care to see?

I don't know anything about agents, but this young man is very funny and smart, and just, you know, nice to read. It might be an inspiration, too, but you may have already...well, I don't know, but I thought I'd mention him, just in case, you know how you do :) nathanbransford, but if he's not your interest or whatever, ummm, it's not like we're mutual friends or anything, but I thought I'd share him, though you may already know about him :D

Thanks, Kara.

Nathan is on my list of potentials. You're right about his blog, and I thank you very much for the recommendation.
