I only had a "I'd keep reading" with qualifiers, but as it happens, I already queried this agent a few weeks ago, and now I have more specific feedback about why it didn't work for her. Feedback is always useful, so thanks to all of the commenters who participated! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-38630987593396745222009-09-15T22:47:24.204-04:002009-09-15T22:47:24.204-04:00Congrats to everyone who got a "I'd keep ...Congrats to everyone who got a "I'd keep reading" comment, but even to those who didn't, this is such a great learning experience that you have to consider the outcome a positive even if you didn't "win", so to speak. Having people comment on your first page really helps you see it more objectively. And having an honest, if brief, response from a great agent like Ms. Clark is such a help. <br /><br /><a href="http://missaspirant.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Miss Aspirant</a>Elizabeth Lundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225460715942282133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-46696749053050136092009-09-15T16:24:49.081-04:002009-09-15T16:24:49.081-04:00Awesome news everyone!

As in, "I might keep reading if..." or that sort of thing.<br /><br />And Sarah....she isn't asking for a query; she actually wants a link directly to your entry here.
