Excellent news! Got a request for a full version of my manuscript yesterday via email. For those keeping score (wait, is that just me?) here’s the summary:
#1: Partial Requested and Rejected. Door left nicely open to submit graphic novel when further along
#2: Never heard from them, going to resubmit the query as they show a 3 -4 week turnaround and I think I got lost in the shuffle (or am up on previously mentioned “laughing board”).
#3: Dead. No response to email query. I’m considering it a rejection.
#4. Requested Partial. Sent Partial (first 5 chapters) via mail about two and a half weeks ago – no word yet.
#5. Full Requested. Full will be sent via mail tomorrow 2/14/08.
#6. No response to email query as yet, about 4 weeks out.
#7. No response to regular mail query as yet to HUGE agency, about 3 1/2 weeks out.
#8. Rejected Query.
So, 2 Rejected Queries; 1 Rejected Partial; 1 Requested Partial; 1 Requested full; 3 Queries still living in limbo…not bad. Everyone cross your fingers and hold your breath for about three months okay? Thanks.

Congrats! BIG congrats!
Now, can you remind those of us with small memory banks what the story is about? Generally speaking of course, we don’t want to know how it ends yet.

W00t, w00t! May it shine like the sun when it arrives upon the agent’s desk!

Thanks guys.
No worries on the small memory banks…I don’t think I’ve ever talked specifically about the story…and I’m somewhat hesitant to on the internet, what with the WILD POPULARITY of my blog (not).
I will tell you this, the first novel can stand alone as one work, but was conceived as part one in a trilogy. I’m hard at work on part 2 and 3 simultaneously (they just seem to be coming out that way). Also, part 2 is giving me a lot of problems as it is from a different character’s perspective than book 1 and her skin is proving difficult to wriggle into, but I think in the end that is maybe going to make it a better book.
I hope you get to read it yourself one day…
