(I don't have an agent.)<BR/><BR/>It's to a point now where if a month goes by and I don't receive such an email, I assume the answer is no and I am usually right.<BR/><BR/>I know someone else for which this has been the case, too. Is this true for anyone else? I just wonder how often writers/illustrators are being called up "out of the blue" with an offer. For me, it helps to manage expectations a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-79248875835034960252008-04-13T10:13:00.000-04:002008-04-13T10:13:00.000-04:00Yes, I want as much information as possible. It m...Yes, I want as much information as possible. It matters for obvious practical reasons. If an editor likes your work enough to take it to a meeting, but it gets shot down at the meeting, this is obviously an editor you want to keep sending work to, as opposed to the editor whose assistant sent back a form rejection. If a candidate loses an election by one vote, he is more likely to run again than if the loses in a landslide. <BR/><BR/>It's also nice to know <I>in advance</I> that the manuscript is being taken to an acquisition meeting. There may be other publishers considering the manuscript, or you may be trying to decide whether to send it elsewhere, or you may be trying to decide on an agent, or you may actually simply <I>care</I> because it is, after all, your manuscript, which gives rise to a natural curiosity. <BR/><BR/>What I really hate is when a manuscript goes into a giant black hole for months or years, and there's no way of knowing if it has arrived, or if, upon arrival, it was not shipped out to a paid reader who later decided to leave the business and never bothered returning the stack of manuscripts entrusted to her.Bob Schechterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10672054246806238472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-86229897636471088202008-04-13T08:39:00.000-04:002008-04-13T08:39:00.000-04:00Thank you for taking the time to answer these ques...Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions!<BR/>And ditto CW!<BR/>I just received a very nice rejection letter (it's well-written, but) and I really want as much information as possible.

I want to know if my manuscript went to a meeting. <BR/><BR/>After, not before, because I'd rather skip the whole business of waiting to hear what happened, getting my hopes up, feeling sure that the manuscript is simply uninteresting and why did I ever mail it off anyway, etc.<BR/><BR/>Any piece of feedback about how a manuscript was received is helpful to me. Also, my manuscripts have never come any closer to publication than "going to a meeting." I'd very much like the little glimmer of hope that comes from knowing one of them made it at least that far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-4231415565610550672008-04-12T18:22:00.000-04:002008-04-12T18:22:00.000-04:00love the last two posts - so cool to hear about th...love the last two posts - so cool to hear about that side of things.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745000460198785788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-47169630396809279802008-04-12T17:44:00.000-04:002008-04-12T17:44:00.000-04:00Thank you for answering those questions.

An agent might be helpful in keeping it going. :) I love your answer to requesting revisions. I'm currently working with an editor at a publishing company who asked for revisions to my manuscript and while I'm doing the requested revisions, I have to keep in mind they might STILL say no. It makes a lot of sense to do it that way! :)Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-36565118457262569452008-04-12T17:26:00.000-04:002008-04-12T17:26:00.000-04:00Thank you for your honesty (about having to work t...Thank you for your honesty (about having to work to remember a project, etc.) It's a good reminder that we writers need to stop taking anything personally.
