Agents

I sent my latest query letter to an agent and received a request for the first chapter of my first novel. Apparently the promise in my novels' synopses did not translate to a favorable evaluation by the agent. I was rejected for not having a good enough hook.

In discussing this with my editor, she said, "Don't be discouraged. It's a good book. I know you'll find a home for it!"

I reworked the first chapter of the first novel and sent it off to another agent.
