Submissions Update

Wow.  Life-as-close-to-being-an-agent-as-I'd-ever-want-it!

Here's the update:  All 50 entrants for the adult portion have received their responses.  (Rejections and acceptances both.  So if you're in this crowd and haven't heard, please check your spam box.  I PROMISE I sent 50 emails yesterday.)

Jodi and I are still working through the MG/YA entries. We're 75% finished.  I'll send responses as soon as I can.

Also, I feel awful because one of you sent me a link to a AMAZING collection of information on all 13 of our agents, and I forgot to post it before submissions opened.  And now I can't find the email.

Yes, it's been a little overwhelming.  I'm so sorry for missing that.

But yes, this is fun!  The excitement alone propels me forward each day.  Like a non-Christmas Christmas.

I'm even receiving NICE RESPONSES to my rejection emails.  Words of THANKS.  Does it get any classier than this?

Yep, I'm loving this.  Thanks for your patience.  And enthusiasm!

ETA: Thanks to Merieka for providing the link to Catherine Misener's AWESOME AGENT LIST. And THANK YOU, Catherine!

  6. Thanks for all the work you and Jodi are putting into this (and the agents of course). Also, it is great that the posts won't go up in November. With NaNo still going I wouldn't have the time to read all the exciting excerpts and loglines. I am sooo looking forward to it.

  12. Sudam, were you one of the 50 who made it into the adult slush pile? If so, I did send all 50 acceptances and rejections by hand. Tell me your email address and I'll double check.

    Also check your spam box.
