I queried some 20 agents and received one request for full and the rest was formal rejections. I ended up with a formal rejection on the full as well. Is there anything I can 'assume' from that? If it's such a good sign to get a full request, maybe my writing isn't as bad as I thought? I would be grateful if there was something positive to deduce because for the last year I've second-guessed myself so much in all my writing and editing that I feel like I'm stuck in purgatory.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869145555938203736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-30901258988566468902012-01-30T13:11:24.213-05:002012-01-30T13:11:24.213-05:00I almost did that in the query letter I sent out l...I almost did that in the query letter I sent out last week. I caught it, but it's good to hear it wouldn't have mattered. I got one request for a full off it, two rejections and a few no responses (but it's only been a week!)<br /><br />Still, best not to make mistakes.Nathan Rudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01956198816518223996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-7064229759473364102012-01-30T12:57:40.094-05:002012-01-30T12:57:40.094-05:00My editor/publisher made a mistake in my memoir bu...My editor/publisher made a mistake in my memoir but so far, nobody has noticed but her. She told me about it after it was published. We are all human. If it's well-written, so many things are overlooked by the reader!Linda C.

But this is a a very good question, and it's good to know that agents won't notice little things like that. Also a good reminder for all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-48352862875233239172012-01-30T10:05:40.582-05:002012-01-30T10:05:40.582-05:00Haha! I love it.
