For your "80 Proof" question, your reader might want to pop over to The Purple Crayon, where Harold Underdown posted a very informative article on the acquisitions process (look under "What's New").Terry P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17116141318727911477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-19737538282810694682007-06-08T01:04:00.000-04:002007-06-08T01:04:00.000-04:00LOL!!

I asked the same question awhile ago...an editor asked for full, still has it, haven't heard...blah, blah, blah. Per the advice of EVERYONE, (including you) I started submitting again. First editor I sent a query to replied in 20 minutes asking for a full. AFTER ONE WEEK, said editor told me I'd be getting a phone call soon. I sent a query to an agent last week as well. She asked for a full three days later, and called and offered to represent me YESTERDAY!! Total time between submitting and hearing nothing with first editor: 6 months (and counting!) Total time between submitting and possible offer from editor PLUS phone call offering representation from agent: ONE WEEK.<BR/><BR/>Explanation: There is no rhyme or reason. It's just chemistry, karma, fate, kismit, tenacity and who-knows-what-else!! I'm still in shock. Thanks for all these great posts!heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338301854400974266noreply@blogger.com
