Round 2 of Queries sent

I got an (honestly very kind and nice) rejection on a partial manuscript request, leaving me with one open request for a full manuscript that is still open and 3 submissions over 90 days that I hadn't heard from.

So, time for another round of submissions.

Here's how the first round went - pretty damn good I'd say. 4 requests for further material out of 14 subs is a 29% request rate, which is GREAT.

I completed another 7 submissions today. So. Now it's time for... more waiting!

Another rejection, from the agent who'd requested a partial manuscript, but this one was at least very nice.

The text of a kindly-worded rejection email from a literary agent I'd queried, who had asked for a partial manuscript.

That leaves me with one outstanding request for a full manuscript, and a lot of open queries at 3+ months, so... time for another round of queries.
