Three positive responses in one day!
From Barbara Collins Rosenberg (on a lovely, cream-colored paper):
“I have received you query letter and would like to know more about your book…”
From Jeff Herman (of the famed Jeff Herman’s Guide):
“We apologize if this is a late response and understand that your work may no longer be available. But if it is we would be very happy to review it.”
From Miriam Altshuler (who I had queried two years ago about my memoir, which she requested to review but ultimately declined. It has yet to be published.):
“Thank you for your letter and it is nice to hear from you again. I would be pleased to read the first 50-100 pages of your book.” (she remembered me somehow!)
It feels so good to finally get some positive responses. After mailing out over a hundred queries, I am inevitably getting quite a sea of rejections back. It’s easy to start feeling down, but these invitations for a proposal are making me feel a bit more buoyant. Hope springs eternal.
