Question: If one receives a request for a full manuscript (yay!), and then a few days later a form rejection of it from the same agent (alas!), is it considered kosher to ask for feedback?

Querying teaches you patience in the worst possible way: by making you wait.
Weeks for responses. Months for decisions. But..
Still here. Still waiting. Still writing.

6 weeks. 73 queries. 14 fulls. 3 offers. So many tears.
I broke down my #querying journey for my debut novel in an interview with #QueryTracker. I was honored to share my experience, and I really hope it helps someone still in the trenches. 💚

Querying is hard, and sometimes it’s not your story; it’s how you’re presenting it.
I’m offering query letter feedback with honest, clear insight on what’s working and what’s not.
If you’re not getting responses, feel free to message me. 🤍

If an agency is regretfully turning my project down because they don't have time, would it be crazy to say "It's cool I'll wait."?
Or did they just not want to say "No we don't want it"?
Lol

I officially want to try that for one of my current novel projects when the time comes. Even if it’s only an exercise. #AmWriting #WriteSky #WriterSky #WritingCommunity #query #querying

Clurichauns, leprechauns, and pucas, oh my! Come visit Bilcraigh, where the village is haunted, the inn is magical, and if you piss of the spirits, they’ll throw shoes at you. And ectoplasm. Stay if you dare, fall in love, and resolve a curse, if you can.

Distracted boyfriend meme. Boyfriend (center): Elsebeth Woman in red (left): The sweet peasant who loves her for herself Girlfriend (right): Traditional marriage a noble to secure her position
Why marry a scheming noble when she could marry someone who doesn't care about her crown?
And he's got an identity so secret, even he doesn't know it...

A poorly drawn stick-figure comic in pencil on white notebook paper with six panels. Panel 1, Heading "How it Started": a woman with a hat with a red feather falls off a horse into the waiting arms of a man, his thought bubble says, "I hope this isn't a metaphor." Panel 2, Heading "Where it went": the woman with the red feather is holding hands with the man as they look into each others eyes. Panel 3, Heading "How it Ended": the woman is walking away from the man with one hand on her face and his head is hanging In between the top and bottom rows of panels is a Spongbob Squarepants time card reading "Many Months Later" Panel 4, Heading "Or did it?": the man is now wearing a half domino mask with red feathers as a woman in a dress waves a magic wand Panel 5: The women from the first panels is wearing a dress and a domino mask with red feathers, and she says, "I'm the princess. Who are you?" Panel 6: The man has a thought bubble showing he recognizes the princess as the woman who fell off her horse that he fell in love with, followed by a thought bubble "Oh shit."
She fell off her horse
Lovely and kind, but she left
And she’s the princess?

It’s like Pokémon, if the Pokémon was a kid you kidnapped and raised to love you and fight for you, and she thought you were the good guys. Except you’re an evil corporation--and that kid grew up and learned a new move: rage. (And also it’s nothing like Pokémon.) #chaospit #sf #a #querying

A silver tabby Maine Coon cat in mirror image in front of a background of party lights. Cat on the left in a blue mask says, "is this for the cinderella thing? am I the princess?" and the cat on the right, in a pink mask, says, "I double cast myself, so we're elsebeth and ascher." The cat on the left says, "romeow, romeow, where for art though romeow?" and the cat on the right replies, "wrong forbidden romance, and these are adults."
A sweet adult gender-flipped Cinderella in fantasy so low it looks like Bridgerton with just a hint of magic? Whaaaaaaaaat? An escapist read that's basically Robin McKinley's Beauty meets Andy Tennant's 1998 Ever After? Come ON! Even the power dynamic is different! 🤯 #chaospit #A #R #Querying

Have you ever wanted to see Veronica and JD's relationship as one re-imagined as an extremely dysfunctional one between a parentified child and the kid he helped raise? Because I did.
Also, someone please teach this man about linebreaks.

Spent the day working on chapter 17 of my WIP. While I continue writing, I find my enthusiasm tempered by my repeated failures in the querying department. The process does a number on the psyche.
