So I got my first rejection letter for the Ridge Runner and I’m kinda happy, because it meant someone read my pitch! Huzzah! Also it’s about the nicest rejection letter I’ve ever seen. Well, it’s the first rejection letter I’ve ever seen with my name on it. But if it was any nicer, I’d think they wanted to represent me. To the agent who rejected my pitch – I mean that in a nice way. You give good rejection is all I’m saying.

As cool as the rejection was, a yes would be cooler. Well, that’s life in the fast lane. And after all, a rejection is a rejection is a rejection.

Anyway, I gotta go send out another query letter and update my spreadsheet of agents to contact.

UPDATE: I sent an email back to the prospective agent who rejected my query, thanking them for their time. At samhilliard.com we are nothing if not gracious.
