Popped balloons!

Mylotters, I've heard back from that agent last night who had my partial R&R for Venom for a few months. In the end, she passed on it and said she wasn't the right one to represent my work. She didn't give me any mention on my WIP synopsis or feedback on my partial Revise and Resubmit itself. I did ask her for it, if she had any. She did say I may requery her in a few months (in which I might when I finish my full this mid-fall) or try her or another agent at the same agency with a new project this fall. I do have 5 agents (and 1 small pub) who want the full and said they would wait for revisions. So I hope to send it to them later this fall as well when I'm done. So my heart is deflated like a popped balloon.

Oh I am so sorry. Have you tried publishing on Amazon or Smashwords?

@KristenH It would probably be the quickest route to publication. It would be a pity to shelve something you have worked so hard on!

Thanks Snowy. No I haven't yet. If my luck runs out with the other agents, I might do that or retire my book by shelving it.

@snowy22315 Probably. If my luck runs out with my fulls, I might consider it.

Thanks. I hope to send them out in mid-October at the latest, working on one chapter at a time.

It did. I'm still feeling the crush of the blow.
