Okay. I started off this year with a publisher whose authors and publications for a certain genre I thought fit P2l. I sent the query early January 2011 and got a response last week. It was a FORM response, but this is the 2nd time I’ve been rejected by this publisher.
Now granted this is the SAME book I pitched 3 years ago [when I was half-assing my submissions a few years ago] but still, the book has been re-written a couple of times and it’s in way better shape. I love this story more now than ever and it’s a better product. And really, I’ve never submitted this manuscript, I’ve only submitted the query letter, which leads me to believe I have to work on the query.
I revamped the query and submitted it to a couple of trusted “writer” associates for their honest opinion. In the mean time, now that I’ve put the tip of my toe in, now I’m really going to be on a submission blast. I’m compiling a list of a agents and publishers to submit the revamped query for P2l and a couple of other books to over the next 4 weeks.
Here goes nothing!
