Although the number of agents that just don't reply if they aren't interested boggles me. I mean, I understand a little, I hated getting those annoying replies to my rejections too, and they have a lot more of them than I did. (And I sending rejections, even form ones.) But still, it strikes me as unprofessional - especially when some agents ONLY do email queries, not even giving you the option of sending the SASE so you can get the form rejection letter and know when to send out the next query.<br /><br />The no-response thing has made it a lot easier for me to do multiple queries at once. I'm happy to give an exclusive to someone willing to read the full, but I can't offer an exclusive query to someone who won't reply with the rejection. I think that's only fair.<br /><br />But I'm glad the Tip was helpful! Don't give up!

Like you say, sometimes the rejection is easier to take than the wait.<br /><br />I never thought I would let rejections get the best of me, but I guess they do.Christihttp://writingunderpressure.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
