Another no. Another standard letter. This one apologises “Please do forgive this not particularly helpful reply.” I try but can’t find it in me.
As each one comes back I send another out.
I’m prepared for at least 20 rejections. Before that I won’t be worried, even though part of me thought one of the first agents would definitely go for it and beg to represent me. I expected long lunches, schmoozing and ego-stroking. Nevermind. Found a Channel 4 website on writing. One author wrote about getting her agent-
“I queried 40 agents, over four months, ten read the entire manuscript, and three made offers of representation - a 6% success ratio.”
Will see if I can beat her.
