Agent Search Update

17 Comments

Here’s the latest:

I’ve done my re-writes for the agent who said she’d happily read again if I considered some changes.

Last week, two more agents requested fulls. I’ve sent off the new version to them.

Yesterday, I contacted the re-write agent, explaining the changes and letting her know two others have requested my manuscript. She emailed saying she was pleased her suggestions were helpful and to re-submit if the other two agents pass.

I don’t know what will happen next. I could very well be starting the whole process again in just a few weeks. But for now, I’m trusting someone will connect with this story at some point, and I’m trying to believe I can calmly wait until then.

    I’m praying for you Caroline. I am actively learning to trust God especially when I cannot trace Him. He is going to work this out, in His own time, in His own way.

    Good to hear the interest from agents has not faded.

    Thanks so much, everyone. I love the support the blogging community creates.

    Andrea, I’ve been meaning to tell you, Watership Down was my treat to myself during exams my freshman year in college. I’d study, then spend time reading as a reward.
