Request from an Agent

I've had another request from an agent! This will be the seventh request I've had for a partial manuscript (anywhere from 15-100 pages). The first six agent ultimately turned the book down.

I've really been working HARD on making this book the best it can be -- I've cut so much fluff, changed entire segments to move the plot forward more rapidly, and axed characters who weren't contributing. Editing your own book is so difficult, because your so close to everything. But I'm really trying to do what it takes to become a published author.

Hopefully, an agent will accept my work and want to represent me. If not this one, though, there will be another one. I've just got to stay positive and keep at it.

That is AWESOME, Megan! I'm sure that's a lot more interest than most first-time novelists get. Keep working at it. It's going to happen!

Yay! Better than mine so far. :) But I've only heard from 1.
