Agent Reply

I got this very nice email from an agent yesterday who had my full manuscript.

Dear Rose,

There is a lot to love about your work but I ultimately felt like it was maybe a draft away from where I would like it to be to offer you representation. Thanks again for the chance to review it. As you will see from the letter attached, I would be happy to see a revised version of X MANUSCRIPT or any of your future manuscripts if another agent doesn't offer you representation before then.

All the best,

Agent X


This was one of the most helpful letter's I've received. Although it was essentially a rejection, it was a wonderful rejection and still gives me hope. I'm going to work on the revisions and also run this through my crit group and see how it goes.

This is AWESOME!!! You're getting close AND she's left the door very open. Wow. You have some congratulations in your future! :-D
wow! congratulations! That was only just BARELY a rejection! How encouraging!
I agree! Very hopeful/good news, Rose!!
yay! that is a great letter!
Great letter!!!! Soooo close!
Woah, what did I miss? This isn't a rejection. This is an open door to resubmit! And not she is also indicating you could get an agent off of your current work. Excellent!
I agree! I think you'll sign with an agent - possibly this one...very soon :)
That agent is offering you a second chance!!!!! YOWZA!!!!!!!
Go, Rose! Go, Rose! Go, Rose! Go!!!!!!!
Rose, I foresee some wonderful news in your near future- hang in there!
Wow, Rose (I hopped in here from Kelsey's LJ post 'cause yours don't come through on my LJ). Anyway, what a great letter, and it sounds like you are INCHES away from an agent! Good luck!! Marybeth
