Doncha just have to pause, take a deep breath, and squeeze your eyes shut before hitting SEND?
I do. Particularly when it comes to emailing a query letter...which is what I just did.
Yep. Finally bit the bullet and sent off the first query for Stealing Amy. Was gonna give The Knight Agency a whirl, but learned they’re “temporarily” closed to submissions from unpubbed authors. Doesn’t that suck?
So I went with Plan B which was Avon Romance. Like the Knight Agency, they prefer emailed queries and I had good luck with them last time (good luck meaning they requested a partial). Thank God some publishing houses still accept unagented queries.
And that’s how I spent my Saturday night.
Now, it’s off to think about how stupid my letter probably was.
Best of luck, lady. If it was crafted as nicely as the first chapter of Stealing Amy I just read, you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteHey! Good Luck! I am sure your query email was anything but stupid, I am sure it was quite wonderful! Can't wait to hear when you hear to send the partial!
ReplyDelete(blushing) thanks for the support, guys! :-)
