Skywatch submissions
Feb. 8th, 2013 04:58 pmThere is stuff going on IRL that's been messing with my writing concentration (including being sick), so today I stared at my Netflix account and then decided I was well enough to accomplish something other than finishing the third season of West Wing.
So I got together all my research, double-checked it for accuracy, and spent the day specializing and sending out query letters for Skywatch.
It's about bloody time. Seven so far. A fellow aspiring writer at WisCon suggested sending out a new query for every rejection or assumed rejection I get, and I think that's a good plan--so I'll always have seven query letters out. It's a little bit odd sending one piece around--I did it for The Novel, but it was a while ago and I have a lot more experience submitting short stories, which are pretty much always single submissions.
Now, since I did get a rejection letter for The Novel from HarperVoyager, I need to get started researching agents to submit queries for that book as well. It's been going on three years and two significant revisions since I last submitted The Novel, and I have a lot more confidence in it now than I had then, so.
Wish me luck!
